EU’s outermost regions can benefit from many new opportunities for support under EU policies to help them shape, implement and fund their tailored regional development strategies. The permanent constrains faced by outermost regions and their specificities is recognised in Article 349 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, which provides for specific measures to support the outermost regions, including specific provisions applicable to outermost regions in EU competitive programmes. In its renewed Strategy for the EU’s outermost regions, the European Commission committed to support their capacity to participate in EU competitive programmes. In this context, the European Commission is organising a series of 7 virtual workshops to provide tailored information on the opportunities and specific provisions for the outermost regions under various EU programmes[1].
The ERASMUS+ Programme will be presented to EU outermost regions in an online workshop taking place on 24 May 2023.
ERASMUS+ is the European Union’s programme to support education, training, youth and sport in Europe. The 2021-2027 programme places a strong focus on social inclusion, the green and digital transitions, and promoting young people’s participation in democratic life.
Erasmus+ offers mobility and cooperation opportunities in higher education, vocational education and training, school education (including early childhood education and care), adult education, youth and sport. Its general objective is to support, through lifelong learning, the educational, professional and personal development of people in the fields of education and training, youth and sport, in Europe and beyond, thereby contributing to sustainable growth, quality jobs and social cohesion, to driving innovation and to strengthening European identity and active citizenship.
The ERASMUS+ programme provides various opportunities for the EU Outermost Regions, taking into account their specific situation to increase their participation in all actions, in particular mobility actions, exchanges and cooperation from these regions and their neighbouring countries.
The European Commission and the European Education and Culture Executive Agency (EACEA) organised the Erasmus+ Sport Info Day on 30 January 2023 to inform potential applicants about the political context, future programme and funding opportunities in 2023: the recordings can be found here.
This workshop will focus on:
- presenting the ERASMUS+ Programme and its opportunities for the EU Outermost Regions
- providing recommendations on application procedures
- sharing experiences from past beneficiaries
- dedicating time for questions and answers
We look forward to welcoming you to this event!
Please submit your registration before 23rd May 2023.
