Key Action 1 - School Education
Mobility projects in the field of School Education provide an opportunity for schools and organisations operating in the field, to receive funding for organising learning mobility activities that contribute to achieving their objectives and their internationalisation.

Opportunities to utilise the programme
Interested parties can apply for funding as sending organisations in the following two ways:
- Short-term projects (6 to 18 months): Mainly for new organisations/schools for the implementation of a small number of mobility projects (up to 30 participants).
- Accredited Projects (15 months): For organisations/schools that have received Erasmus Accreditation.
Additionally, specific organisations can participate in the Programme without applying:
- As a member of an existing partnership
- As a host organisation for participants from another country

Organisation accreditation
Erasmus Accreditation is a quality certification tool for organisations/schools that enables continuous utilisation of the programme by following simplified procedures throughout the programming period. The application for Accreditation is evaluated qualitatively during its submission, and, if the required criteria are met, the organisation may apply for funding every year for the implementation of its pursued objectives. Applicants for Erasmus accreditation must have at least two years of experience in the field.
Types of Accreditations:
*It is not possible to apply for both Accreditation types in the same field.
Specific parameters are considered when allocating funds to accredited organisations. More information
