IMPORTANT ASPECTS OF NEW ERASMUS+ 2021 – 2027
Inclusion and diversity
According to the new Erasmus+ programme 2021 – 2027 and quality standards ‘organisations that receive support from the Programme must ensure that they offer mobility opportunities in an inclusive and equitable way, to participants from all backgrounds. The selection of learners that will take part in project activities should take into account key factors such as motivation, merit, as well as personal development and learning needs of the participants. Similarly, selection of staff participants should ensure that benefits of their professional development are available to all learners in the organisation’
Digital transition in education and training

of digital tools and learning methods to complement their physical activities, to improve the cooperation between partner organisations, and to improve the quality of their learning and teaching.
