The European Commission has released the Erasmus+ Programme Guide 2024, emphasizing adult education, inclusion and diversity, and digital transformation as key priorities. The guide offers invaluable opportunities for organizations and individuals to strengthen education, training, and cooperation across Europe, highlighting the critical role of lifelong learning in addressing social and economic challenges.
The general objective of the Erasmus+ Programme is to support, through lifelong learning, the educational, professional and personal development of people in education, training, youth and sport, in Europe and beyond thereby contributing to sustainable growth, quality jobs and social cohesion, to driving innovation, and to strengthening European identity and active citizenship. As such, the Programme shall be a key instrument for building the European Education Area, supporting the implementation of the European strategic cooperation in the field of education and training with its underlying sectoral agendas. In addition, it is key in advancing youth policy cooperation under the European Union Youth Strategy 2019-2027 and developing the European dimension in sport.
Adult Education for Inclusive and Sustainable Growth
Adult education is pivotal in promoting inclusivity, enhancing skills, and equipping individuals to navigate rapidly evolving environments. The 2024 guide introduces funding opportunities, collaborative projects, and innovative learning methods that empower learners and educators. From advancing digital literacy to fostering professional growth, the guide underscores Erasmus+’s commitment to equipping adults with the skills and knowledge needed for personal and societal advancement.
Comprehensive Support for Diverse Stakeholders
The guide provides detailed insights into funding options, application procedures, and activity guidelines. It is essential for stakeholders, including students, educators, organisations, and policymakers. It simplifies the application process and enables participants to leverage Erasmus+ initiatives effectively.
