The Erasmus+ people
The Erasmus+ Programme mainly targets individuals: students, trainees and trainers, young people, volunteers, apprentices, adult learners, pupils teachers, professors, youth workers, professionals of organisations active in the fields of education, training and youth.
However, the programme can only reach its targeted audience through the projects and activities organised by organisations, institutions and other entities.
The Actions promoted by the Erasmus+ Programme can be applied for by the following participants:
- Participating organisations which refer to organisations, institutions or bodies organising activities supported by the Erasmus+ programme; and
- Participants which refer to individuals (students, trainees, apprentices, pupils, adult learners, young people, volunteers, or professors, teachers, trainers, youth workers, professionals in the field of education, training, youth and sport, etc.) involved in activities organised by the participating organisations.
Where a project is selected for implementation, the applicant organisation becomes a beneficiary of an Erasmus+ grant. Individuals are not entitled to submit project proposals in the framework of the Erasmus+ Programme, except for those individuals applying on behalf of a group (at least four) young people active in youth work but not necessarily in the context of a youth organisation.
