Erasmus+ KA1 and KA2 Programmes
Mobility projects for School Education Staff
KA1: Job Shadowing, Courses and Short Term Teaching in a partner school in the EU
KA2:School Exchange Partnerships
If your school wants to expand its international outlook, improve language learning through real life experience, visit eTwinning partners or start a new partnership with a European school, it’s now even easier to arrange exchanges of pupils and staff, through a streamlined application process.
KA2: Strategic Partnerships
Cooperation for innovation and the exchange of good practices:
Strategic Partnerships funding allows schools to cooperate with each other or with outside organisations to run projects. These should directly focus on issues affecting school education, such as teaching standards, citizenship, improvement of basic or subject-specific skills, or the development of a new tool or system to improve school education. Projects are expected to develop, transfer and/or implement innovative practices. Project results must be shared with the wider community to encourage use of these methods, and make an impact beyond the organisations directly involved.
