Erasmus + is not just Youth and Education ...
Discovering the possibilities of the Erasmus + Program for European cultural operators
ERASMUS+ is the most important funding program of the European Union for the support to initiatives dedicated to education, training, youth and sport, and offers many possibilities also for the performing arts sectors.
Furthermore,
ERASMUS+ is perhaps the only program that recognizes
100% of the expenses incurred
for the implementation of the project. Its budget of
€14.7 billion will provide opportunities for over 4 million
Europeans to study, train, gain experience, and volunteer abroad. Set to last until 2020,
Erasmus+ doesn't just
have opportunities for students, it also gives opportunities for a wide range of organisations, such as universities,
education and training providers, think-tanks, research organisations and private businesses.
