Type of funding
This type of funding can support adult education providers and other organisations active in the field of adult education who wish to
- organise learning exchange activities for their learners and staff in other organisations abroad
- host teachers who are training, or invite experts from abroad to their organisations
Activities can include
- for staff: individual or group learning periods for adult learners in another country
- for learners: job shadowing, courses and teaching or training assignments in another organisation abroad
Types of projects funded
Short term projects
Exchange activities run over a period of 6 – 18 months. These are the best choice for first time applicants or organisations wishing to organise a limited number of activities.
Accredited projects
Only open to organisations holding an Erasmus accreditation in the field of adult education. This funding means accredited organisations can receive regular funding for mobility activities that contribute to their Erasmus Plan (an organisation-level plan to implement high quality mobility activities).
Other ways to join
Organisations can also take part in projects without submitting an application by
- joining an existing Erasmus+ mobility consortium led by an accredited consortium coordinator in their country
- hosting participants from another country: any organisation can become a host for learners or staff coming from a partner organisation abroad. Becoming a hosting organisation is a valuable experience and a good way to learn about how the Erasmus+ programme works
Contacts
Applications are managed by the National agency in the country where the applicant organisation is based.
