Organisations active in the field of school education receive support from the Erasmus+ Programme to organise learning mobility activities for staff. The participating organisations should actively promote inclusion and diversity, environmental sustainability, digital education and engagement.

How to access the Erasmus+ mobility opportunities

-Short-term projects for mobility of staff – these projects provide applicants with an opportunity to organise various mobility activities over a period of 6 to 18 months.

-Accredited projects for mobility of staff – these projects are open only to organisations holding an Erasmus accreditation in the field of school education. This special funding strand allows accredited organisations to regularly receive funding for mobility activities that contribute to the gradual implementation of their Erasmus Plan. All accredited projects will have an initial duration of 15 months.

In addition, organisations can join the Programme without submitting an application by:

-Joining an existing Erasmus+ mobility consortium led by an accredited consortium coordinator in their country.

-Hosting participants from another country: any organisation can become a host for learners coming from a partner organisation abroad.
