What is Key Action 1 in Adult Education?

Erasmus+ offers mobility opportunities to adult learners and staff, as well as accreditations to adult education providers.

Who can take part?

In the field of adult education, the following organisations are eligible to apply:
(1) organisations providing formal, informal and non-formal adult education
(2) local and regional public authorities, coordination bodies and other organisations with a role in the field of adult education.
See the eligible organisations here.

It is clarified that in line with Erasmus+ Programme Guide, adult education includes all forms of non-vocational adult education, whether of a formal, non-formal or informal nature.
Organisations providing vocational education and training to adult learners are typically considered to be vocational education and training providers, and not adult education providers.
Adult learners and staff participate through the approved project of their organisation.

  • Improving the quality of formal, informal and non-formal adult education in Europe for key competences as defined by the EU framework (2018), including basic skills (literacy, numeracy, digital skills) and other life skills.
  • Strengthening the European dimension of teaching and learning
  • Extend and diversify adult education offer through professionalisation of educators and building capacity of adult education providers
  • Raising the participation of adults of all ages and socio-economic background in adult education, especially by fostering participation of organisations working with disadvantaged learners, small adult education providers, newcomers to the Programme and less experienced organisations, as well as community-based grassroots organisations.
  • Promoting values of inclusion and diversity, tolerance, and democratic participation
  • Promoting knowledge about shared European heritage and diversity
  • Supporting development of professional networks across Europe
  • Building the capacity of adult education providers to carry out high quality mobility projects

What is Erasmus accreditation?

Erasmus accreditation is a new way to access mobility activities within the Erasmus+ programme. It allows organisations to submit a long-term development plan and, on that basis, gain access to funding for its implementation through a simplified grant application process.

How can I be awarded an accreditation?

Organisations must develop a plan for implementing high-quality mobility activities, which they will use to improve the education and training they provide. Applicants may apply either as individual organisations or as coordinators of a mobility consortium. It is not possible to apply for both types of accreditations in the same sector.

As individual organisations: Your organisation applies to receive funding for its staff or learners.

As consortium coordinators: Accredited mobility consortium coordinators can lead a group of organisations working on a shared plan and organise mobility activities abroad. The members of your consortium are not required to hold Erasmus accreditation themselves, but they must be based in the same country as your organisation.

Moreover, organisations who do not wish to submit an application, can join the Erasmus+ Programme by:

• Joining an existing Erasmus+ mobility consortium led by an accredited consortium coordinator in their country that is accepting new members in the consortium.
• Hosting participants from another country: any organisation can become a host for trainees or personnel coming from a partner organisation abroad. Becoming a hosting organisation is a valuable experience and a good way to learn more about the Programme before applying.
• Through EPALE – the Electronic Platform for Adult Learning in Europe – which offers an online partner-finding tool. You can register
your organisation on the platform in order to post partner-finding announcements and search through
announcements made by other organisations: https://epale.ec.europa.eu/el/erasmus-adult-education
