G.2. WORK PROGRAMME
Please summarise in the table below the planned Partnership activities and mobilities for all institutions in the Partnership. Please present the activities for the 2-year lifetime of the partnership both academic years 2013/14 and 2014/15, in a chronological order. The eligibility period of activities starts on 1 August 2013 and ends on 31 July 2015.
Please note that mobility activities can only take place between organisations receiving funding to participate in the Partnership, or to events organised by Lifelong Learning (or predecessor) Programme projects or networks. Mobility can be undertaken by staff and pupils/learners/trainees of the participating institutions and – in the case of mobility involving persons with special needs – accompanying persons such as parents, guardians or carers. What is counted as “a mobility” is one trip abroad by one person. Only transnational mobility (i.e. travel abroad) counts for the calculation of the minimum mobility numbers.
Please note: if an institution’s mobility activities involve staff or pupils/learners/trainees with special needs, or travel to or from the Overseas Countries and Territories, its mobility activities during the partnership period may be reduced by up to 50% of the minimum mobility number for the grant amount in question, in order to take into account the higher costs involved. This reduction must be requested by the institution either before the signature of the grant agreement or during the grant agreement period and approved by the National Agency.

H. REQUESTED EU FUNDING
Funding requested and estimated number of persons participating in mobility (per participating organisation)
For each of the participating organisations, please select the “Partnership type” that best corresponds to your partnership work plan for the whole 2 year duration. Please note that each type is linked to a minimum number of mobilities to be carried out during the grant agreement period – these minimum numbers have to be respected when entering the numbers of planned pupil/learner/trainee and staff mobility into the table. The grant amounts for each Partnership type are defined at national level and they can vary from one country to another. Please make sure that, for each of the participating institutions, you have selected the grant amounts applicable in the country and for the programme in question.
Please note: if an institution’s mobility activities involve staff or pupils/learners/trainees with special needs, or travel to or from the Overseas Countries and Territories, its mobility activities during the partnership period may be reduced by up to 50% of the minimum mobility number for the grant amount in question, in order to take into account the higher costs involved.
