Are you ready to get the EU Commission to fund your international learning mobility initiatives?
In today's world, European funds and programmes are a great opportunity for education staff of every kind. Tutors, teachers and trainers and in general anyone in charge of education and training and sports activities, can apply every year for funding mobility projects offering opportunities to staff and learners
RESERVE YOUR SEAT TO LEARN HOW Erasmus+, the EU Commission's programme for education, training, youth and sport, has seen an increase in the budget of around 40%, and each year you have many opportunities to get involved in international activities by applying for the calls. With these grants, you can carry out a wide range of activities, including international mobility of learners and teachers as individuals or groups, study visits, internships (work placements), training courses, job shadowing, teaching activities, and other various forms of collaboration.
Schools or consortia can also apply for Erasmus+ accreditation to receive their grants through a simplified procedure that will be valid for the entire duration of the Erasmus+ Programme (2021 - 27).
