PON Projects in Spain — How They Work
What is a PON project?
PON stands for Programma Operativo Nazionale, a European-funded program supporting education and training opportunities for Italian students. PON projects allow schools to organize fully funded language stays abroad, giving students real-world experience, cultural exposure, and improved language skills.
These projects are often part of the PCTO (Percorsi per le Competenze Trasversali e l’Orientamento) — formerly known as Alternanza Scuola-Lavoro — helping students develop soft skills and explore future career paths.
