Erasmus + is the European Union program for Education, Training, Youth and Sport for the period 2021-2027.
High-quality and inclusive education and training, as well as informal and non-formal learning promoted by Erasmus +, to support participants of all ages and enable them to achieve the qualifications and skills necessary for an active participation in a democratic society, a real intercultural understanding and the transition to the job market.
Thanks to the success of the Previous Program (2014-2020) Erasmus + increases the opportunities for a greater number of participants and for a wide range of organizations. Within the Program, some key issues such as social inclusion, environmental sustainability, the transition to digital and the promotion of participation in a democratic life by the younger generations have got central roles. Spending time in another country to study, learn and work should become a must, young people should be able to speak two languages in addition to one's mother tongue, too.
For the period 2021/2027 Erasmus + has a financial envelope of € 28.4 billion, which represents an amount almost double if compared to the previous program (2014-2020).
