The reason why the project E-Bridge to mobility was
created came mainly from observing the EU labour
market and analysis of the needs of Eastern Europe
emigrants (especially those from Bulgaria, Poland,
Romania and Slovakia). They are moving from one EU
country to another (especially to England, Germany,
Spain) for educational, financial or social reasons.
Bulletin 5 This project has been funded with support from the
European Commission. This publication reflects the
November December 2009 views only of the author, and the Commission cannot be
held responsible for any use which may be made of the
information contained therein.
We support people who change the place of residence for the purpose of searching for a different workplace, cul-
tural area or possibility of additional education. We focus on collecting any, necessary for all mobile Europeans, le-
gal, administrative information and this related to the everyday life, so that each of you would have least problems
with adaptation to a new cultural environment. Apart from a complex guide describing principles of movement in
a particular country, as well as principles prevailing on the European labor market, we offer you language courses
that, apart from issues related to education, will contain also data related to culture and customs of a given country.
Didactic materials will be available in three languages: German, English and Spanish. Material will be translated into 4
languages (Bulgarian, Polish, Romanian, Slovakian). The course prepares for communication in a given language with
regard to the most important aspects of daily life.
