What are the Program Goals?
Erasmus+, the EU's education, youth and sport programme, supports education, training, internships, professional development, non-formal learning, youth activities and cooperation between institutions across Europe and beyond. The programme aims to modernise education, training and youth development across Europe and to contribute to human and social capital with the skills needed for labour markets and a viable economy.
The Erasmus+ programme was launched in 1987 as a student exchange programme to support one- or two-term exchanges in higher education. Over time, the programme has changed and expanded to include school education, vocational training, adult education and youth opportunities in addition to student exchanges, and until 2013, it was offered as a standard within different education programmes such as Socrates, Leonardo da Vinci and Lifelong Learning. For the 2014-2020 period, education and youth education have been brought together under a single programme umbrella, with the addition of sports enrolment, and named Erasmus+. The European Commission has decided to keep the name of the new programme for the period 2021-2027 as Erasmus+. The budget of the Erasmus+ programme will reach €28.4 billion in almost two years, compared to the period before the 2021-2027 period (2014-2020).
There are “country-based” and “central” activities within the scope of the Erasmus+ Programme.
