#ErasmusDays 2024 are here!
IKY/Erasmus+ National Agency is supporting the #ErasmusDays event for the 8th year in a row. If you are active in the fields of education and training, don’t miss out on this celebration. This is the perfect opportunity for you to contribute to the visibility of both the Erasmus+ Programme and your approved projects.
This year, one of the highlights of #ErasmusDays is sports, echoing the spirit of Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games. The thrill that can be found in a global competition, can also be found with Erasmus+, a Programme that brings everyone together around new and collective experiences.
For six (6) full days, between the 14th and the 19th October 2024, Europe will shine throughout the world through events devoted to the Erasmus+ Programmes.
In 2023, 9,635 events were organized overall in 53 countries to celebrate #ErasmusDays, while a total of 269 events took place in Greece.
Let’s beat last year’s number of events this year with #ErasmusDays 2024! What do you say?
