*The Erasmus + Program
Erasmus+ is the EU Program in the fields of education, training, youth, and sport for the period 2021-2027. Education, training, youth, and sport are key areas that support citizens in their personal and professional development. High-quality, inclusive education and training, as well as informal and non-formal learning, ultimately equip young people and participants of all ages with the qualifications and skills needed for their meaningful participation in a democratic society, intercultural understanding, and successful transition in the labor market. Building on the success of the program in the period 2014-2020, Erasmus+ strengthens its efforts to increase the opportunities offered to more participants and to a wider range of organizations, focusing on its qualitative impact and contributing to more inclusive and cohesive, greener, and digitally fit societies.
