The DEEDS Project pursues to institute a fundamentally new methodological framework surrounding the development of transnational student exchange programmes and mobility opportunities for upper secondary students, whereby schools undertake a more active role in driving the process while offering high-quality learning experiences, ensuring recognition of the period(s) spent abroad. Upper secondary schools can play a key role in educating future European citizens by providing transnational educational paths capable of equipping them with skills and competencies that pave their access to European tertiary education. The rationale of DEEDS endeavours is deeply rooted in the EU’s efforts to establish a European Education Area by 2025, where spending time to study and learn abroad is the norm.
