2.4. Preparation of project participants
Before the start of the mobility period the local project coordinator at TSUE 
carried out task-related and intercultural preparation with the outbound participants. 
Preparation was carried out in the form of giving advices to the outbound participants, so 
that he/she should perform activities in line with the proposed mobility programme stated 
in the signed Mobility Agreement, be aware of and understand the German culture and 
society, deeply learn the new teaching methods to give the academic benefits for the 
home university, politely communicate and work with German counterparts and respect 
the punctuality of the German people. There was no need for linguistic support to the 
outbound participants of TSUE because their English language competence was checked 
during the selection process and was sufficient (minimum level of English level was B2 
as per the requirement of the Inter-Institutional Agreement) to carry out training or 
teaching activities. The local project coordinator also provided instructions to the 
outbound participants on how to get from Frankfurt Airport to Bremerhaven by train.
As the participants from HSBHV had been in Uzbekistan before and also were in touch 
with colleagues from Uzbekistan through other projects they knew about the culture and 
society. Before their departure they were in close contact with the local project 
coordinator at TSUE so they received all the necessary information about their schedule 
and the pick-up service from the airport. The participating teachers were also informed 
that they had to give at least 16 hours of lectures according to the Erasmus+ programme.
 
2.5. Monitoring and support of project participants
The activities of incoming German participants to the TSUE during their mobility 
were monitored and supported by the local project coordinator. Thus, for the participants 
for training mobility the monitoring and support included: monitoring of training 
activities on the basis of preliminarily worked out scheduled programme of visit; 
monitoring of effective implementation of training programme; preparation of training 
venue; ensuring the uninterrupted operation of the ICT tools (projector, computer etc.) 
for the workshop; assuring the availability of whiteboard, markers and flipcharts in the 
room of the workshop; support in arranging cultural travels within Uzbekistan; providing 
with signed certificate of attendance.
For the participants for teaching mobility the monitoring and support included: 
monitoring of teaching activities on the basis of preliminarily worked out and approved 
schedule of lectures; preparation of lecture rooms and lecture presentations; ensuring the 
uninterrupted operation of the ICT tools (projector, computer etc.) for lecture; assuring 
the availability of whiteboard and markers in the lecture rooms; support in arranging 
cultural travels within Uzbekistan; providing with signed certificate of attendance. All the 
incoming participants were in close contact to the local project coordinator through 
everyday meeting or local phone, and this monitoring was especially relevant when 
carrying out the activity abroad. 
Activities of outgoing Uzbek participants were monitored by communicating with 
contact persons at the receiving institution. A schedule was prepared in close cooperation

with the participants and the receiving institution. For the incoming Uzbek lecturer the 
classes to teach in were arranged in advance. The Uzbek lecturer was also given the 
possibility to sit in on classes in order to get to know the different teaching styles. 
Personal meetings with other lecturers were arranged in order to discuss their research 
and common projects or project ideas. During the stay the schedule was adapted 
according to the interest of the guest lecturer. In the afternoon the HSBHV offered some 
cultural activities for the Uzbek lecturer to participate in. 
The Uzbek staff members coming to HSBHV for a training mobility had a set 
schedule for a workshop including different classes, study visits and cultural activities. In 
between there was given room for personal meetings with staff from HSBHV in order to 
discuss the future cooperation and other project ideas. 
The outgoing participants also could always get in touch with their local project 
coordinators in case any difficulties arose during their stay abroad. Once the mobilities 
had been carried out, each participant had to write a report about the experience and 
provide the necessary documents.
According to the experience report submitted by the incoming and outbound 
participants everything has gone smoothly with their travelling and stay without any 
problems. The only difficulty one incoming German participant encountered in the TSUE 
was that due to predominant one way teaching styles at the TSUE the participating 
students were not used to discuss critical issues and did not give open feedback, so that 
he had to concentrate mainly on frontal teaching, which was quite exhausting as there 
were several sequenced classes per teaching day.
After the mobility the staff members were provided with a confirmation of stay 
signed by the host university. They also received a separate certificate confirming their 
stay at the host university and the programme during their mobility.
