Much More Than a Method
“Sharing the wisdom of the Training & Evaluation Cycle of international volunteering programmes”
The closing conference of V – Comprehensive Guide to Best Practices in Mobile Learning for Adults showed how the knowledge, methods, and practices developed through the Training & Evaluation Cycle (TEC) can support professionals and volunteers working with people on the move.

- Held online on Zoom
For many years, the methodologies used by TEC trainers in international mobility and volunteering programmes have remained largely within a specialised community of trainers and National Agencies. Through this project, we wanted to open up that knowledge, document its roots, and make its practical wisdom accessible to a wider audience.
Carried out by…
- Italy
- Germany
- Luxembourg
During this one-hour online conference, we launched the results of V – Comprehensive Guide to Best Practices in Mobile Learning for Adults, presented the new website, and introduced the publication developed through this work.
Why this conference matters
In a world where more and more people of all ages are on the move, professionals need meaningful tools to support processes of transition, adaptation, reflection, and inclusion.
For around 25 years, the TEC community has developed methods that help young people involved in international mobility to manage change, reflect on their experiences, strengthen interpersonal and intercultural skills, navigate challenges, and plan their next steps.
These approaches are not only relevant to Erasmus+ and volunteering programmes. They can also inspire a much wider range of professionals working in education, youth work, mobility, reception, and community support.
This conference was an opportunity to explore that legacy and discover how it has been transformed into practical, accessible resources for others through V – Comprehensive Guide to Best Practices in Mobile Learning for Adults.

What we presented
As part of V – Comprehensive Guide to Best Practices in Mobile Learning for Adults, we have researched the origins, language, and long-term value of the TEC cycle, created a collaborative online platform where TEC practitioners have shared successful practices, and developed a publication gathering good practices for people working in mobility and with people on the move.
The result is a set of resources designed to help professionals and volunteers support learning, integration, wellbeing, and future planning.
Who was it for?
This conference was for youth workers, trainers and facilitators, volunteers, professionals working in mobility programmes, organisations welcoming people in transition or on the move, and anyone interested in non-formal learning, reflection, and inclusion.
Whether you are already familiar with TEC or discovering it for the first time, the resources at tecpractices.eu offer insights, inspiration, and practical tools.
Join the conversation
This closing conference was also a beginning: a chance to continue sharing, using, and building on the knowledge developed through the TEC tradition.
We invite you to explore the resources developed through V – Comprehensive Guide to Best Practices in Mobile Learning for Adults, and to become part of the conversation.
