23 participants:  4 teacher trainers (including university and educational agency colleagues) ; 19 teachers (including 2 Finnish colleagues and 6 teachers from CertiLingua schools). Most participants teach either at upper secondary or basic school and upper secondary level (general education).

The PluriMobil workshop in Tallinn brought together teachers, teacher trainers and people involved in internationalisation to work with possibilities to support students before, during and after mobility. Participants learnt about and discussed the need to support students throughout their mobility arcs, paying special attention to the reflection that should occur after mobility periods. The competence of intercultural communication will be easier to develop if this is done through conscious and structured activities, providing students with the concepts and vocabulary necessary to record and later reflect on their experiences. Participants got to know the PluriMobil materials for different educational levels and practiced adapting them further and designing their own mobility scenarios for their own contexts.

Tallinnas aset leidnud PluriMobilikoolitusel osalesid õpetajad, õpetajate koolitajad, ülikoolide esindajad ja teised spetsialistid, kelle töö sisaldab õppijate toetamist mobiilsuse eel, ajal ja järel. Kultuuridevahelise suhtluse pädevus vajab teadlikku arendamist ja selleks on vajalik mobiilsuse mõtestamine enne visiite/kontakte, nende ajal, aga kindlasti ka pärast neid. Koolitusel arutati, kuidas aidata õppijatel arendada teadmisi ja ka sõnavara, mis võimaldaksid neil oma kogemusi jooksvalt kajastada ja neist ka hiljem rääkida ja kirjutada. Osalejad tutvusid PluriMobili õppematerjalidega, mis on välja töötatud erinevatele haridusastmetele. Koolitusel osalejad mugandasid neid materjale enda kontekstile ja enda õpilaste vajadustele vastavalt.
