Putting everything together — the practical starting point for a school ready to move forward.
Organising an Erasmus+ VET mobility with a Lisbon partner starts simply: a conversation describing your students' fields of study, roughly how many participants, and your intended timing. A genuine partner can tell you quickly whether a realistic programme is possible, before either side commits to anything formal.

Schools don't need a confirmed grant before reaching out to a potential partner — in fact, having a concrete placement plan in hand tends to strengthen an Erasmus+ KA1 application. Starting the conversation early gives both sides time to build a programme properly, rather than compressing everything into the weeks before departure.
DNA Europe has spent ten years organising Erasmus+ KA1 VET mobility in Lisbon for partner schools across Romania, Italy and Poland, coordinating placements, accommodation, transfers, monitoring and documentation as one programme. If your school is planning a mobility to Lisbon — whether it's your first or your fifteenth — the next step is a conversation about your students' fields of study and timing.
