Through Erasmus+, South Devon College students have visited Sweden, France, Germany and Ireland and were recently host to a group of students from Sweden and Norway. The experience has allowed the students to participate in a joint project, Susswater, which aims to explore the sustainable use of water.
Steve Caunter, Assistant Principal for Hi-Tech and Digital at South Devon College said, “Erasmus+ is a fantastic programme. European work placements and cultural experiences offer a unique and creative way for both students and staff to gain valuable experience, and the opportunity to share knowledge. We look forward to working on future projects together.”
