The missions
Organising various forms of mobility for FDE students or researchers wishing to go abroad
Organising the reception of foreign students or researchers wishing to study at the FDE or to collaborate with its research teams.
Each year, it organises several hundred incoming and outgoing exchanges of students (Bachelor’s, Master’s or Doctorate), trainers, teacher-researchers and education experts. Scientific and pedagogical exchanges with foreign partners help to enrich the training
The FDE maintains close relations with some twenty countries, including: Switzerland, Finland, Thailand, Senegal, Morocco, the United States, Canada, Spain, the Czech Republic and Cuba.
Every year, it organises several hundred incoming and outgoing exchanges of students (Bachelor’s, Master’s or Doctorate), trainers, teacher-researchers and experts in education. Scientific and pedagogical exchanges with foreign partners help to enrich the initial and continuing education of our students and teachers.
Issues related to linguistic and cultural diversity, international collaboration and mobility, or the hosting of foreign students or colleagues have mobilised the Faculty of Education and led it to resolutely focus on international issues for many years. Aware of the rapid evolution of education and teacher training systems, the FDE has developed an international policy based on interculturality and the discovery of education systems throughout the world.
The principles
Three principles underlie the international policy of the Faculty of Education :
Interculturality, as the discovery of different educational systems is a possible key to better understanding and opening up to other cultures
reciprocity insofar as the mobilities or exchanges implemented are, as far as possible, balanced and mutual
solidarity, particularly with partners from emerging countries or countries with specific needs to which the FDE can respond or provide support.
