EEB3 | ERASMUS+ PROGRAM
The “Erasmus” program was originally established by the European Union in 1987. It looked to promote closer cooperation between universities and higher education institutions across Europe. This meant setting up an organised and integrated system of cross-border student interchange.
Over time, the program has expanded in its breadth and depth and is now known as “Erasmus+”. Its extended form is a broad umbrella framework which combines former EU’s different schemes for transnational cooperation and mobility in education, training, youth and sport in Europe. Increasingly, it is also looking beyond Europe.
Since the start of the program in 1987, over 15 million people have taken part in Erasmus+, thanks to enthusiastic take-up of opportunities by staff, students, young people and learners of all ages.
The 2021-2027 program places a strong focus on social inclusion, the green and digital transitions, and promoting young people’s participation in democratic life.
It supports priorities and activities set out in the European Education Area, Digital Education Action Plan and the European Skills Agenda. The program also supports the European Pillar of Social Rights, implements the EU Youth Strategy 2019-2027 and develops the European dimension in sport.
Erasmus+ offers mobility and cooperation opportunities in :
- Higher education
- Vocational education and training
- School education (including early childhood education and care)
- Adult education
- Youth
- Sport
The program’s objective is pursued through three “Key Actions”:
Key Action 1: Learning mobility of individuals
Key Action 2: Cooperation among organisations and institutions
Key Action 3: Support to policy development and cooperation
EEB3 | Erasmus+ Projects
This school year the Nursery and Primary Cycles of our school is taking part in a KA1 project which refers to L2 teaching and educational support teaching techniques. As part of this 18-month program 8 teachers will have the opportunity to travel to a European country to be trained in up-to-date methods of teaching a foreign language and in techniques for supporting students with special educational needs.
