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.

  • Extend and diversify adult education offer through professionalisation of educators and building capacity of adult education providers

  • 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

What is Erasmus accreditation?

Erasmus accreditation is a new tool to access mobility activities in the framework of the new Programme that aims at waiving the obligation of the organisations to submit a new application for mobility activities per Call for Proposals, as required by Erasmus+ Programme. Moreover, it enables bodies to remain in the new Programme over several years by organising mobility activities through simplified grant requests for accredited projects (KA121).

How can I be awarded an accreditation?

Organisations must set up a plan to implement high-quality mobility activities that they will utilize in order to enhance the education and training they offer. Applicants can apply as an individual organisation or as a coordinator of a mobility consortium. It is not possible to apply for both types of accreditation in the same field.

Information for individual organisations
Organisations applying for funding for their staff or learners.
Information for consortium coordinators
Accredited mobility consortium coordinators can lead a group of organisations that work together based on a joint plan and organise mobility activities abroad. The members of your consortium are not required to hold an Erasmus accreditation themselves, however they must come from the country of 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.
