International Relations

Erasmus+ is the EU Programme in the fields of education, training, youth, and sport for the period 2014-2021. Education, training, youth, and sport can make a major contribution to help tackle socio-economic changes, the key challenges that Europe will be facing until the end of the decade and to support the implementation of the Europe 2020 strategy for growth, jobs, social equity, and inclusion.

Well-performing education and training systems and youth policies can help to tackle these challenges by providing people with the skills required by the labor market and the economy while allowing them to play an active role in society and achieve personal fulfillment. Reforms in education, training, and youth can strengthen progress towards these goals, on the basis of a shared vision between policymakers and stakeholders, sound evidence and cooperation across different fields and levels.

The Programme supports actions, cooperation, and tools consistent with the objectives of the Europe 2020 Strategy and its flagship initiatives, such as Youth on the Move and the Agenda for new skills and jobs. The Programme also contributes to achieving - through the Open Methods of Coordination - the objectives of the Education and Training Strategic Framework and of the European Youth Strategy.

This investment in knowledge, skills, and competencies will benefit individuals, institutions, organizations, and society as a whole by contributing to the growth and ensuring prosperity and social inclusion in Europe and beyond.
