Erasmus + Programme
Erasmus + will be an integrated programme = based on Key Actions, rather than sectors of education as before
Less fragmentation: altogether, there will be 11 actions grouped under 3 Key Actions; the LLP currently has 75 actions..
In line with the Europe 2020 Strategy aiming at a Smart, Sustainable and Inclusive Growth for Europe raise higher education attainment to 40% (32% now) reduce the share of early school leavers from 14% < 10%
Erasmus + Programme
The new programme aims to be more cost-efficient and have more impact at the same time
Target group: still the same, butmore emphasis on support for teachers, trainers,
information officers & youth workers because of their importance as 'multipliers‘;
cooperation projects will focus more on including business as partners with educational establishments and youth organisations
