European projects and Erasmus+

What we do

Work placements abroad for learners

Every year 20 learners in the final year of their vocational qualification do their curricular work placement at a company in another European country. They are away for about 58 days, travel included, with an Erasmus+ mobility grant that covers travel, accommodation, meals and insurance.

Learners from the Ceva and Mondovì centres aged 16 to 21 can apply. The sectors change every year: for 2026/2027 they are hairdressing and beauty, mechanics, and catering, with departure for Spain in January 2027. Applications for 2027 closed on 30 October 2026: read the 2027 call (in Italian).

Training abroad for teachers and staff

Trainers and staff travel too, for job shadowing at partner schools and for study visits. In 2026, for example, teachers and project managers went to Denmark twice: in June for a preparatory visit and in October for a study visit.

European students and teachers in Ceva and Mondovì

We host learners and teachers from European vocational schools who come to us for work placements or training. They stay at Campus Mondovì, which has 24 beds. Since the Campus opened in January 2024, more than 200 people have come from at least 14 countries: Spain, Belgium, Germany, France, Romania, Greece, Finland, the Czech Republic, Portugal, Poland, Croatia, the Netherlands, Turkey and Cyprus. Companies in the Monregalese, Cebano and Fossanese areas also take part in the exchanges.

Projects with European partners

Together with schools, universities, associations and companies from other countries, we develop new training tools funded by Erasmus+. CFP Cemon is the lead partner, coordinating the whole partnership, in two projects: GearUp!, on career guidance for children aged 8 to 14, and Mobile Green Lab, which brings renewable energy teaching into mobile labs.

Cross-border projects with France

Through the Interreg Alcotra programme we work with French partners on issues that affect our valleys. MODERATTI aims to set up a renewable energy community in each of the four areas involved: Turin, Cuneo, Hautes-Alpes and Alpes-de-Haute-Provence. Cooperatives and local authorities from both sides of the border also take part in the projects.

How the projects are funded

Most of our activities are funded by Erasmus+, the European Union programme for education and training. Erasmus+ funds our learners' work placements, staff mobility and partnership projects such as GearUp!, Mobile Green Lab, Foodwise and NEET Navigator.

Other programmes we use or have used:

• Interreg VI-A France-Italy Alcotra, funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), for projects with France such as MODERATTI and ITACA.
• The European Social Fund, through calls from the Piedmont Region: for example the 2019 Transnationality call, which funded the InEU mobility projects.
• Creative Europe, for Dialog City, with the city of Aschaffenburg in Germany.
• Interreg Central Europe, for Arrival Regions.
• COSME, the EU programme for the competitiveness of small and medium-sized enterprises, for projects that support SMEs.

Who it is for

• Learners in the final year of their qualification, for work placements abroad.
• CFP trainers and staff, to learn from other European schools.
• Schools and organisations abroad that are looking for a partner in Italy or want to send their students here.
• Local companies, cooperatives and organisations that want to join a European project.
