Erasmus+

EU programme for education, training, youth and sport

Teaching opportunities for staff

With Erasmus+, opportunities are available to spend time teaching at an education institution abroad.

These opportunities are available to both staff working in the education sector and to individuals in businesses invited to share their knowledge of a given sector, subject or issue to students.

Opportunities to teach abroad with Erasmus+ are available in education institutions operating at all levels.

Higher education

Erasmus+ supports teaching periods at higher education institutions abroad. If you work in higher education, you can spend time teaching at an institution in an Erasmus+ Programme or Partner country. People working in businesses can receive support to teach and share knowledge with higher education institutions located in a Programme country.

Vocational education and training

Erasmus+ supports teaching assignments at vocational education and training (VET) institutions abroad. If you work in VET, you can spend time teaching at another organisation in an Erasmus+ Programme country. Through teaching abroad, you can gain broader a perspective on education, exchange knowledge with your colleagues in another country and pick up good practices in VET.

Through teaching abroad, you can gain broader a perspective on education, exchange knowledge with your colleagues in another country and pick up good practices in education. These opportunities are available between schools based in Erasmus+ Programme countries.

Adult education

Erasmus+ supports teaching assignments at adult education organisations abroad. If you work in adult education, you can spend time teaching or providing training at another organisation in an Erasmus+ Programme country. Such experiences and exchanges can help improve language skills and cultural knowledge, as well as providing a new perspective on teaching practices and approaches.
