Erasmus+

Erasmus+ is a new EU education programme for the period 2021–2027, which supports cooperation and mobility across all sectors of education, practical training, and sports and youth. It replaces the Lifelong Learning Programme, the Youth in Action Programme, and others.

The Erasmus+ Programme offers opportunities to students, teachers, apprentices, volunteers, youth leaders and people working in grassroots’ sport. It also provides funding for partnerships between organisations such as educational institutions, youth organisations, enterprises, local and regional authorities and NGOs, as well as support for reforms in Member States to modernise education and training and to promote innovation, entrepreneurship and employability.
