Erasmus+ Program: General Structure
ERASMUS +, the European Union's grant program in the fields of education, youth and sports, is implemented in the period between 2014-2020.
What are the aims of the Erasmus + Program, why is the program called Erasmus?
With the Erasmus + Program implemented between 2014 and 2020, it is aimed to provide individuals with new skills, strengthen their personal development and increase employment opportunities, regardless of their age and educational background.
Erasmus + Program covers the fields of education, training, youth and sports. The main reason for giving this name to the Erasmus + Program is to benefit from the recognition of the previous Erasmus program, which is more publicly recognized and strongly associated with education abroad and European cooperation.
What is the Erasmus + Program?
Erasmus + Program is the general name of the umbrella program, which started to be implemented on January 1, 2014, and includes supports for different age groups and different target groups in the fields of education, youth and sports. .Within the Erasmus + Program, as in previous programs, support for school education, higher education, vocational education, adult education and youth continues, as well as grant support for projects in the field of sports. We can list the innovations that come with the Erasmus + Program as follows:
The programs of Comenius, Erasmus, Leonardo da Vinci, Grundtvig with Youth Program and 5 international cooperation programs (Erasmus Mundus, Tempus, Alfa, Edulink and Cooperation with Industrialized Countries), which are carried out within the Lifelong Learning Programs gathered under the title of Erasmus + Program.By introducing simpler application rules and procedures with a single program, fragmented structure and duplications come to an end.,
The grant guarantee program is being implemented in order to support the students who have completed their master's degree in gaining the necessary skills to continue their education abroad and to work in a knowledge-intensive job,
Bilateral Cooperation with Industrialized Countries in the Field of Higher Education (Bilateral Cooperation), which was implemented in the previous period, maintains its presence among the central projects of the Erasmus + Program, including the youth field. .
The Program enables large-scale partnerships to increase creativity, innovation and entrepreneurship between higher education institutions and workplaces by introducing new teaching methods (Knowledge Partnerships) and partnerships between education and training institutions / organizations to increase employability through innovative vocational education and training methods for sectors (Sectoral Skill Partnerships).,
Mobility and partnership opportunities are significantly strengthened in the new period and grant opportunities are increased, especially for higher education / vocational education students, teachers, trainers and youth workers. .
