For over thirty years the European Union has launched cooperation and integration programs in the field of education, by giving million of youngsters the chance to learn new languages and to meet different cultures. Those are the objectives of a lifelong learning program.
Lifelong learning projects aim at the continuous building of skills and knowledge throughout the life of an individual; at developing a more active and conscious European citizenship; at fighting against isolation; at promoting equal opportunities between women and men.

Erasmus + shall contribute to the achievement of:

• The objectives of the Europe 2020 strategy, including the main education target;
• The objective of the strategic framework for European cooperation in education and training including the corresponding benchmarks;
• the sustainable development of Partner Countries in the field of higher education;
• The overall objectives of the renewed framework for European cooperation in the youth field (2010 – 2018);
• The promotion of European values in accordance with Article 2 of the Treaty on European Union.

1. KEY ACTION1:  Learning Mobility of Individuals
