ERASMUS+ STRUCTURE
Key Action 1: Learning mobility of individuals
Learning mobility opportunities aim to encourage the mobility of students, staff, trainees, apprentices, youth workers and young people.
The role of the organisations in this process is to organise these opportunities for individuals. The benefits for the organisations include an increased capacity to operate at an international level, improved management skills, access to more funding opportunities and projects, increased ability to prepare, manage, and follow-up projects, a more attractive portfolio of opportunities for students and staff at participating organisations, the opportunity to develop innovative projects with partners from around the world.
Key Action 2: Cooperation among organisations and institutions
The cooperation among organisations and institutions is expected to result in the development, transfer and/or implementation of innovative practices at organizational, local, regional, national or European levels.
