Erasmus+
Erasmus+ is the European Union’s successful programme in the fields of education, training, youth and sport, covering both an intra-European as well as an international partnerships dimension.
​
Erasmusplus reaches out more and better to people of different ages and from diverse cultural, social and economic backgrounds, to increase the qualitative impact of its actions and ensure equal opportunities.
The programme will also encourage its participants, in particular young people to engage and learn to participate in civic society, raising awareness about European Union common values.
Furthermore, developing digital skills and competences and skills in forward-looking fields, such as combating climate change, clean energy, artificial intelligence, robotics, big data analysis, etc. is essential for Europe’s future growth and cohesion.
Erasmusplus makes a meaningful contribution by stimulating innovation and bridging Europe’s knowledge, skills and competences. EU businesses need to become more competitive through talent and innovation. This investment in knowledge, skills and competences will benefit individuals, institutions, organisations and society as a whole by contributing to sustainable growth and ensuring equity, prosperity and social inclusion in Europe and beyond.
​
Supporting and facilitating the international cooperation between organisations in the fields of education, training, youth and sport is essential to empowering people with more key competences, reducing early school leaving and recognising competences acquired through formal, informal and non-formal learning. It facilitates the circulation of ideas and the transmission of best practices and expertise and the development of digital capabilities thus contributing to a high quality education while strengthening social cohesion. The Erasmus+ Programme is one of the European Union’s most visible success stories. It builds on the achievements of more than 30 years of European programmes in the fields of education, training, youth and sport, covering both an intra-European as well as an international partnerships dimension.
