Organisations active in the field of school education receive support from the Erasmus+ Programme to organise learning mobility activities for school pupils. The participating organisations should actively promote inclusion and diversity, environmental sustainability, digital education and engagement.

How to access the Erasmus+ mobility opportunities

-Short-term projects for mobility of pupils – these projects provide applicants with an opportunity to organise various mobility activities over a period of 6 to 18 months.

-Accredited projects for mobility of pupils – these projects are open only to organisations holding an Erasmus accreditation in the field of school education. This special funding strand allows accredited organisations to regularly receive funding for mobility activities that contribute to the gradual implementation of their Erasmus Plan. All accredited projects will have an initial duration of 15 months.

In addition, organisations can join the Programme 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 coming from a partner organisation abroad.

Group activities must involve pupils from at least two EU Member States or third countries associated to the Programme.

Funding

The awarded grant amount will depend on the total budget available for allocation to accredited applicants, the requested activities, the basic and maximum grant, the applicant’s performance, policy priorities, and geographical balance.
