The Erasmus+ project is an initiative established by the European Union to promote international cooperation and mobility in the field of education, training, youth, and sport. It offers opportunities for students, teachers, and young professionals to study, train, and gain experience abroad. The project aims to enhance personal and professional development, foster cultural understanding, and strengthen European integration. Participants can engage in various activities such as student exchanges, staff mobility, volunteering, and collaborative partnerships between educational institutions. Erasmus+ provides financial support for travel, accommodation, and living expenses, making it more accessible for individuals to explore different countries, languages, and educational systems. Through Erasmus+, participants can broaden their horizons, acquire new skills, and build lifelong connections across Europe.

This Erasmus+ programme supports transnational activities involving organizations and individuals and from EU member states and third countries associated to the programme.
It funds activities outside formal education and training that encourage, foster and facilitate young people’s participation in Europe’s democratic life at local, regional, national and European level.

The Erasmus+ programme seeks to promote equal opportunities and access, inclusion, diversity and fairness across all its actions. The project activities have to take into account the views of participants with fewer opportunities and involve them in the decision-making process.
An Erasmus+ project has to promote environmentally sustainable and responsible behaviour among participants, raising the awareness about the importance of acting to reduce or compensate for the environmental footprint of mobility activities. It has to be designed and implemented with environmental consciousness by e.g. integrating sustainable practices such as opting for reusable or eco-friendly materials, reducing waste, recycling, and sustainable means of transportation.
The Erasmus+ Programme supports all participating organisations in incorporating the use of digital tools and learning methods to complement their physical activities, to improve the cooperation between partner organisations, and to improve the quality of the activities. The introduction of digital and online elements to lower the threshold for participation of young people with fewer opportunities is encouraged.
The Erasmus+ Programme supports all participating organisations in improving the quality of their projects by integrating a participatory dimension, offering young people relevant opportunities to actively engage and participate in the conception and implementation of project activities as a pathway to discovering the benefits of active citizenship and participation in democratic life.
