From the Local Ecosystem to Europe.

The model connects four actors in one pathway towards lasting European relationships.

• Educational and territorial ecosystem: schools, VET providers, businesses, institutions and professionals share competences, resources and settings to create learning and cooperation opportunities.
• Italian educational organisation: retains ownership of the strategy, defines its international vision, assumes responsibility and makes decisions, plans objectives and the pathway, and evaluates results and impact. Its internal team involves staff, teachers, students and other key actors.
• SUBMEET: acts as an expert, non-hierarchical partner; it guides, connects and facilitates relationships and partnerships, opens up coherent opportunities, accompanies the process and strengthens internal capacities.
• European networks and partners: reliable organisations for mobility, job shadowing, exchange of practices and cooperation, from which new opportunities and long-term collaboration can develop.

The four phases described in the following section — analysis, co-design, implementation, evaluation and consolidation — follow the Erasmus+ quality standards of excellence, coherence and continuous improvement.

Outcomes and impact

• Institutional capacity: shared competences, reusable procedures and tools, decision-making autonomy, effective management of Erasmus+ activities, and continuity over time.
• Ecosystem capacity: stable reciprocal relationships, circulating competences, shared opportunities, territorial cooperation, and international attractiveness and visibility.

The result is sustainable internationalisation: more competent, connected and autonomous organisations that lead the development of lasting European relationships which create value. Ownership remains with the organisation; SUBMEET guides, connects and strengthens relationships with Europe.
