\"\"Description<\/h3>

Erasmus+ offers financial support to institutions, organizations and schemes for education, training youth and sport in Europe. As an answer to the challenges outlined in the strategic documents of the European policy (in particular the Europe 2020 strategy), the program is expected to contribute to the skill development of its participants and increasing their chances of employment, as well as modernizing education, training and youth support systems.<\/p>\n<\/div> <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n

\"\"Objectives<\/h3>

In its assumptions, the Erasmus+ Program is not fundamentally different from the “Lifelong Learning Program: that has just ended. The greatest emphasis in the new program was put on both formal and non-formal education aimed at developing the skills of students, teachers and academic employees and improving their competitiveness on the labor market.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In practice, the Erasmus+ program enables international mobility – educational exchange programs for the purpose of study, work, training or volunteering abroad by students, teaching staff and youth workers, as well as supports partnerships between universities, institutions of higher education, enterprises and non-profit organizations for promoting innovation and knowledge.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What the program stresses in particular is the importance of cooperation across various sectors of education and institutions of different levels and different profiles, as well as strengthening interdependence between education and work environment.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Sport-related initiatives are mainly focused on preventing violence, discrimination and doping, and financial contributions to non-profit sports events.

    This program is designed for academic teachers and specialists from enterprises. Academic teachers can go to universities abroad with which their home universities (faculties) have signed bilateral agreements. Both the home and the hosting university must have the Erasmus Charter for Higher Education and both must approve the academic staff member’s individual work or training program. Professionals from enterprises, institutions or organizations can – at the invitation of the university – conduct a series of lectures for students. Polish universities may invite specialists from foreign enterprises, and employees of Polish enterprises may conduct series of lectures at universities in other countries participating in the program. Lectures conducted by academic staff members or professionals from enterprises must always be an integral part of the current curriculum of the hosting institution.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
