Important Information

Inform your school administration of your interest in participating in or conducting a mobility project. Participating teachers or pupils can be selected after the grant approval.
Eligibility Requirements
To be an eligible candidate, your school must adhere to a set of quality standards for mobility projects, including:
- Good management practices
- Providing quality support to participants
- Sharing results and knowledge about the program
Participating organizations should actively promote inclusion and diversity, environmental sustainability, and digital education through their activities. These are the key themes supported by the Erasmus+ programme from 2021 to 2027.
