Erasmus
+ (2014-2020) is the new 16 billion euro catch-all framework program for
education, training, youth and sport. It is built on the well-known and
respected EU brand of the highly successful Erasmus student exchange
program.
All
previous programs like Youth in Action, Erasmus and LLP are included in
Erasmus+. It is divided into 3 principal pillars: education and formation,
youth, and sport.
The
main objective of Erasmus plus is to improve employability of the youth by
acquiring supplementary competences appreciated by employers, as well as
improving their language skills and flexibility.
The
youth sector part will be based around three different types of projects, known
as Key Actions. These three Key Actions are:
• Key
Action 1:Learning mobility of individuals;
It is
addressed to Staff (teachers, trainers, school leaders and youth workers) and
students. Here we can find the old Youth in Action actions 1.1, 3.1, 2 (EVS),
4.3 (which now can be up to 2 months).
• Key
Action 2: Co-operation and Innovation for Good Practices;
It is
addressed to Universities, international NGOs and youth workers. In this action
will be included the old 1.2 action, but only the trans-national youth
initiatives. The national youth initiatives will disappear. It will also be
included short term and long term EVS for youth workers.
• Key
Action 3: Support for Policy Reform;
In this
action will be included the old action 5 from Youth in Action. It will also be
included EU presidency events and Council of Europe events.
