WHAT IS ERASMUS+?

WHAT IS ERASMUS+?

Erasmus+ is the European programme in the fields of education, training, youth and sport for the period 2014-2020. It provides grants for a wide range of actions including the opportunity for students to undertake work placements abroad and for teachers and education staff to attend training courses. Erasmus+ key action 1 provides a unique opportunity for teachers, headmasters, trainers and other staff of education institutions to participate in international training courses in different European countries.

WHO CAN GET THE ERASMUS+ FUNDING?

​Schools, vocational education and training and adult education organizations are all eligible to receive full funding to attend our courses under a KA1 mobility grant. Teachers, trainers, headmaster and any other staff members can be sent abroad to attend structured courses and training events such as the ones that we are organizing. Please consider that a wide range of organizations may be considered eligible as adult education organizations including cultural organizations, musical associations, non-profit organizations and any organizations providing any kind of formal or non-formal education to adults. We recommend that you check with your Erasmus+ National Agency to verify if your home institution is eligible as sending organizations under the Erasmus+ key action 1 (school education, vocational education and training and adult education sectors).

WHICH costs are covered BY THE ERASMUS+ GRANT?

WHICH costs are covered BY THE ERASMUS+ GRANT?

The Erasmus+ KA1 grant covers all the costs to attend our training courses including travel, subsistence and course fee. Erasmus+ provides lump sum amounts to cover some of those costs but if you will entrust us to manage the practical arrangements we will make sure that the funding will be enough. With the given budget we will provide accommodation in single room, full board and cultural activities during the free time. You can read here how we take care of the practical arrangements. In particular for each teacher/staff member sent abroad to a mobility project Erasmus+ provides:
  • A lump sum that depends on the distance from your city to the course venue to cover the travel cost
  • A lump sum amount of EUR 70-140 per day (depending on your National Agency) to cover the subsistence costs (i.e. board, lodging, local transport)
  • A lump sum amount of EUR 70 per day to cover the course fee*
  • A lump sum amount of EUR 350 (if you’re sending up to 100 staff members) to cover costs directly linked to the implementation of the training including preparation (pedagogical, intercultural, linguistic), monitoring and support of participants during mobility, validation of learning outcomes, dissemination activities.
  • Additional funds to cover the 100% of the costs directly related to participants with disabilities and accompanying persons.
​* If you are applying in the vocational education and training the cost of the course fee won’t be included in your grant but you can use the organizational support to cover the course fee.
