The Erasmus+ Program is the European Union's flagship initiative for education, training, youth, and sport. It aims to promote mobility, cooperation, and innovation across Europe and partner countries worldwide. Erasmus+ supports students, educators, and professionals in gaining valuable international experience through study, training, work placements, and volunteering opportunities abroad.
The program enhances personal and professional development, fosters intercultural understanding, and strengthens the European identity. It also encourages institutional cooperation, contributing to the modernization of education and training systems and promoting social inclusion, sustainability, and digital transformation in line with EU priorities.
Key Actions of Erasmus+: Driving Mobility, Cooperation, and Innovation in Education and Training
Key Actions of Erasmus+: Driving Mobility, Cooperation, and Innovation in Education and Training
The Erasmus+ Program is structured around three main Key Actions (KA), each focusing on different aspects of education, training, youth, and sport. These key actions guide the program's objectives and activities, helping to foster mobility, cooperation, and innovation across Europe and beyond.
Through these key actions, Erasmus+ addresses both individual and institutional needs, contributing to lifelong learning and fostering international cooperation in education, training, youth, and sport.
Key Action 1 (KA1): Learning Mobility of Individuals
Key Action 1 (KA1): Learning Mobility of Individuals
KA1 focuses on providing opportunities for individuals to gain new skills and experiences through mobility activities. This key action supports:
Student and Staff Mobility: Students in higher education, vocational education and training (VET) learners, and adult learners can participate in exchange programs. Teachers, educators, and staff can also benefit from professional development opportunities through teaching and training abroad.
Youth Mobility: This includes youth exchanges, volunteering, and training courses, giving young people the chance to engage in cross-cultural learning experiences.
Traineeships and Apprenticeships: Erasmus+ provides funding for students and recent graduates to undertake internships abroad to boost their employability.
Through these opportunities, participants gain intercultural competencies, improve their language skills, and enhance their career prospects.
Key Action 2 (KA2): Cooperation among Organizations and Institutions
Key Action 2 (KA2): Cooperation among Organizations and Institutions
KA2 aims to foster cooperation and innovation in education and training by supporting projects involving multiple organizations. Key areas include:
Partnerships for Cooperation: These partnerships are designed to allow institutions from different countries to collaborate, share best practices, and improve educational practices. Partnerships can include schools, universities, NGOs, and businesses.
Partnerships for Innovation: These large-scale projects focus on developing and implementing innovative educational approaches and tools, often with the aim of addressing specific sectoral challenges.
Capacity Building in Higher Education: Erasmus+ also supports institutions from non-EU countries in modernizing their educational systems and aligning them with international standards.
By promoting collaboration between organizations, KA2 helps institutions improve their educational offerings and integrate innovative practices.
Key Action 3 (KA3): Support for Policy Development and Cooperation
Key Action 3 (KA3): Support for Policy Development and Cooperation
KA3 aims to strengthen the policies that underpin education and training systems across Europe. It includes:
Policy Dialogue and Cooperation: Supporting initiatives that promote dialogue between policymakers, researchers, and stakeholders in education and youth sectors. These include conferences, forums, and consultations at the EU level to shape future policies.
Support for EU-wide Tools and Instruments: Developing and implementing European tools that facilitate the recognition of skills and qualifications across borders, such as the European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS).
Civil Society Cooperation: Funding for non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and other stakeholders to engage in policy advocacy and cooperation efforts.
This key action is essential for aligning education systems with broader EU goals, such as improving social inclusion, promoting sustainability, and addressing challenges like digital transformation.
