Objectives and general Information <\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n

The fields of education, training, youth and sport<\/strong> can make a major contribution to help tackle the key challenges that Europe is facing both now and in the next decade. They have been recognized as key drivers within the Europe 2020 Strategy to overcome the socio-economic crisis affecting European countries, to boost growth and jobs and to foster social equity and inclusion.<\/span><\/p>\n

Against this background, Erasmus+ is the EU Programme in the fields of education, training, youth and sport for the period 2014-2020.It will seek to address the following challenges. Fighting rising levels of unemployment<\/strong> – particularly among young people – has become one of the most urgent- tasks for European governments. Too many young people leave school prematurely and run a high risk of being unemployed. The same risk threatens the high number of adult workers with low skills. Strong and well performing education, training and youth systems can help deal with these challenges by providing citizens with the skills required by the labor market and a competitive economy.<\/span><\/p>\n

Another challenge relates to the development of social capital among young people, the empowerment of young people and their ability to participate actively in society, in line with provisions of the Lisbon Treaty  to \u00abencourage the participation of young people in democratic life in Europe\u00bb.<\/strong> This issue can also be targeted through non-formal learning activities, which aim at enhancing the skills and competences of young people as well as their active citizenship.<\/span><\/p>\n

Erasmus+ will provide opportunities for over 4 million Europeans to study, train, gain work experience and volunteer abroad<\/strong>. Erasmus+ will support transnational partnerships among Education, Training, and Youth institutions and organisations to foster cooperation and bridge the worlds of Education and work in order to tackle the skills gaps we are facing in Europe.It will also support national efforts to modernise Education, Training, and Youth systems. In the field of Sport, there will be support for grassroots projects and cross-border challenges such as combating match-fixing, doping, violence and racism.<\/span><\/p>\n

Erasmus+ brings together seven existing EU programmes in the fields of Education, Training, and Youth; it will for the first time provide support for Sport. As an integrated programme, Erasmus+ offers more opportunities for cooperation across the Education <\/span><\/a>, Training <\/span><\/a>, Youth <\/span><\/a>, and Sport <\/span><\/a>sectors and is easier to access than its predecessors, with simplified funding rules.<\/span><\/p>\n
