Support for students with disabilities and/or special needs

Support for students with disabilities and/or special needs intending to spend a moblity period abroad in the frame of the Erasmus+ Programme can ask for an additional financial contribution through the Unitn offices in charge (that work as interface with the Italian National Agency, which will decide whether  to accept the request, and if so the amount of additional contribution). In order to obtain this contribution, the candidate has to state his disability in his online application for the mobility.

Before submitting the application, we suggest the candidate to contact the offices specified in the selection call to verify which of the destinations available can provide him with the facilities and services needed.

Students with disabilities and/or special needs may also benefit from other dedicated services.

Tandem Language Learning

What is Tandem Language Learning?

Tandem Language Learning is an opportunity to improve your skills in a foreign language outside the classroom, in a more relaxed and informal context. It is a meeting between native speakers of different languages who wish to improve their level of proficiency in a foreign language, by speaking together and learning about each other’s cultures.

Who can participate?

All students (BA, MA and PhD) currently studying at the University of Trento, or planning to study there in a mobility programme (incoming exchange students).
 

How do you apply?

After the successful establishment of the Tandem Language Learning Program (TLL) in the last three years, the project will have a brief break to restructure and reorganize some details of the project design. We program to be back in the 2nd semester of the A.Y. 2021/22.
Updated information will be published on our website.

How does it work?

Together with your Tandem partner you will decide autonomously when and where to meet or which platform you adopt for your ongoing Tandem activity, e.g. Zoom, Skype, Meet, Teams, WhatsApp, etc.

We ask you to track your Tandem activities, the goals, and topics of your conversations at the end of each meeting in an online diary. Completing your Tandem project (that is, all the 20 hours) tracked in your diary, you will also have the possibility to receive the Open Digital Badge, which certifies that you have successfully accomplished this activity:

Furthermore, if you are a student of the Department of Humanities or an Erasmus student incoming of the Department of Humanities, you can also get 1 CFU.
