SIEP is a fair dedicated to education and career guidance. Dozens of stands of schools, colleges, training centres and public services are there to inform students about studies and careers. Hundreds of teachers, students and parents visit or attend it. Inforef had a stand to present its activities. Project folders were distributed and school stands were visited to try to involve new schools.

A multiplier event was organised by the UM team. There were more than 80 people initially enrolled but in the end 60 attended the event. There were four presentations on the project itself by the UM Coordinator of the project, the working opportunities abroad for Spanish graduates by the representative of the COIE, CLIL in professional contexts by Prof. P. Pérez-Paredes, and the Head of the Department of Relaciones Internacionales as a representative of the UM academic authorities. At the end there was a turn of interventions on the part of the participants and the discussion was very fruitful.

The latest newsletter was distributed to 78 institutions with an estimated audience of over 150. We received feedback from 2 language centres that inquired as to the feasibility of using the CLIL resources with their migrant students. We are currently assessing their language levels to see if they reach the required level to benefit from B2 materials.

This event focused on Learning Networks (discussion groups for organisations funded through Erasmus+).The meeting provided an excellent opportunity to exchange ideas and project information with a number of key stakeholders as well as peers.Apricot attended and contributed to a workshop focused on employability where the VGCLIL project was discussed in some detail.A number of project managers were enthusiastic about the concept, especially with respect to mobility projects and there were fruitful discussions on synergy and complementarity.Useful contacts were also established with language centres trainers who had previous experience of developing and delivering CLIL materials.

Apricot had the opportunity to network extensively at the Annual Erasmus plus conference held in Cardiff last month. The event was well attended (over 300 delegates) and provided and ideal opportunity to showcase the project amongst interested parties. The VGCLIL project leaflets were distributed to a large number of attendees and there were a number of vocational centres that expressed an interest in piloting the platform when available. We also had productive discussions with Employability Agencies to whom the CLIL approach was a new concept. They felt that there would be possibilities for their clients to trial the materials and they agreed to disseminate information across their networks. Between sessions the Apricot team took advantage of the E+ Community hub and discussed additional dissemination channels with National Agency staff. This included access to new Video booth to record project results and impact. This will provide a valuable dissemination tool for the future promotion of VGCLIL

On the 9th and 10th November 2017, Professor Marianna Memè, on behalf of the cultural association ASTERES, the Italian partner of the project, presented the project's rationale, implementation and outputs at the international conference "ICT for Language Learning" in Florence at the presence of over 150 among university and college lectures, school teachers, representatives of European Agencies (including Nathalie Baidak from EACEA), private companies active in the field of e-learning, cultural associations members.

The presentation rose a great interest among the audience and the opportunity of a follow-up received extremely positive comments.
