The European Commission published collections of inspiring Erasmus+ projects in different thematic areas.
A new set of Erasmus+ compendia were published this month. The showcased projects can serve as inspiring examples for education stakeholders interested in submitting a proposal to one of the future Erasmus+ call for projects, but also to any organisation interested in engaging in the topics. Many of the projects have produced outputs such as recommendations or teaching material that can be used by anyone.
The brochures cover the following areas:
- digital competences – info
- Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) – info
- entrepreneurship – info
- early school leaving – info
- basic skills – info
- language learning – info
- citizenship – info
- transparency and recognition of skills and qualifications – info
A call for proposals for Key Action 3 projects on “Social Inclusion and Common Values: the Contribution in the Field of Education and Training” is now published. The deadline is 28 February 2020. The call covers general education and training (Lot 1), but has an additional priority for adult education (Lot 2). The call is limited to applications from Erasmus+ programme countries, hence Switzerland is not eligible to participate.
This month, Europe also celebrated another edition of the European Vocational Skills Week. During the main event in Helsinki, awards for Vocational Education and Training Excellence were announced in four categories: Companies and learners, VET innovators, European funding for excellence (with a focus on skills for the future and social inclusion for the Erasmus+ awards) and European Agencies awards. The nominee and winner projects can be found here and serve as well as inspiring practices to others.
