KEY ACTION 1

Mobility of Individuals

Key Actions (also referred to as Actions) is the collective name for activities and projects that can be funded under Erasmus+.

This Action is all about providing opportunities for individuals to improve their skills, enhance their employability and gain cultural awareness. Under Key Action 1 organizations can apply for funding to run mobility projects to enable organizations to offer structured study, work experience, job shadowing, training and teaching opportunities to staff and learners.

Beneficiaries are able to spend a period of time in another participating country gaining valuable experience of life, study and work with the aim of increasing the opportunities available to them in the future. Key Action 1 covers the five fields of higher education, vocational education and training, schools, adult education and youth. It is important to note that target groups and activities for Key Action 1 vary by field.

Key Action 1 is the largest action in Erasmus+ supporting its focus on increasing mobility and skills.
