Erasmus+

What is Erasmus+?

The European Union's program for education, training, youth, and sport, providing opportunities for millions of individuals to study, train, gain experience, and volunteer abroad. It aims to modernize education, training, and youth systems and promote European values.

Historical Background

The original Erasmus program was launched in 1987, primarily focusing on higher education student mobility. Over the years, it expanded significantly to include vocational training, school education, adult learning, youth, and sport. The current Erasmus+ program (2021-2027) consolidated various previous initiatives. The UK was a significant participant during its EU membership but withdrew post-Brexit, launching its own Turing Scheme. The news indicates the UK's re-engagement with Erasmus+.
