Erasmus Plus is the European Union Programme for Education, Training, Youth and Sports 2014-2020. The integrated program allows you to get an overview of grant opportunities available, it aims to facilitate access and promote synergies between different sectors by removing the barriers between the various types of projects; also he wants to attract new players from the world of work and civil society and stimulate new forms of cooperation. Erasmus + is part of a socio-economic context where, on the one hand, nearly 6 million young Europeans unemployed, with levels in some countries exceed 50%. At the same time there are over 2 million job vacancies and a third of employers noted difficulties in recruiting staff with the required qualifications. This demonstrates the existence of important skills gap in Europe.

Erasmus+ is designed to give concrete answers to these problems, through opportunities for study, training, work experience or volunteering abroad. The quality and relevance of the organizations and of European education, training and assistance to youth will be enhanced by supporting the improvement of teaching and learning methods, new programs and professional development of teachers and youth leaders, and through enhanced cooperation between education and training and the world of work to address the real needs in terms of developing human and social capital, in Europe and elsewhere.
