Cooperation and exchange of practices

These projects are aimed at developing, transferring and implementing innovative practices at organisational, local, regional, national or European levels.

Key Action 2 contributes significantly to the priorities of the Erasmus+ programme and brings positive and long-lasting effects to the participating organisations. 

Projects foster cooperation and exchange of practices, allowing key actors to make better use of new technologies, develop innovative teaching, training and learning methods, promote non-formal learning and develop common tools and activities.

The impacts of COVID-19 on physical mobility prompted to programme to increase its focus on cooperation as soon as 2020. The Erasmus+ resilience efforts in the context of the pandemic mobilised hundreds of thousands of schools, higher education institutions, vocational training institutes, teachers, young people, youth and sport organisations, civil society and other stakeholders. 

The objective to accelerate new practices that improve the quality and relevance of education, training and youth systems across Europe – at national, regional and local level – were boosted, thanks to more budget channelled to cooperation projects, resulting in an increase of the number of this type of projects in 2020 and 2021.
