• Background
– A clear disadvantage:
Evidence shows that students with low socio-economic
background or students with disabilities are less likely to
participate in mobility programmes (Hauschildt et al.,
2015; King, Findlay and Ahrens, 2010; Souto Otero,
2008), further deepening their already disadvantaged
position among their peers.
