Erasmus+ for schools: Your path to KA1 & KA2 success
Detalhes do curso
Whether your school is just getting started or already has some experience with Erasmus+, the course offers clear, practical guidance for planning and implementing projects under Key Action 1 (learning mobility of individuals) and Key Action 2 (cooperation partnerships).
You will learn how to design projects that are realistic, meaningful, and aligned with your school’s needs and priorities, while also contributing to wider European Union goals such as inclusion, sustainability, and digital transformation.
By the end of the course, you’ll have developed a tailored KA1 or KA2 project idea and feel confident taking the next steps
Even though this is a self-paced course, we encourage you to re-visit the course’s forums and Padlets, reflect on what your peers shared and use their input as food for thought for your own teaching practices, school and classroom life and interaction with your students.
The course is offered by the European School Education Platform. Visit our website for more information.
Duration and workload
Start and end date: open-ended, you can take this course (or any section) at your own pace
Duration: self-paced
Workload: 15-20 hours
Before we start, we would like to highlight the structure and key features of this course to help you plan your learning and successfully complete the course.
This course is based on a version that ran from Monday, 13 October 2025, to Wednesday, 19 November 2025. The original course provided participants with opportunities to interact during a specific active timeframe of 5.5 weeks, exchange ideas, prepare their final activity and engage in the peer assessment process. However, we recognise that not everyone was able to attend during the scheduled timeline.
To make the course accessible to a wider audience, we’ve developed this self-paced format. This version allows you to explore the content and complete the activities at your own pace, whenever it suits you best.
What the self-study format means:
Flexible schedule: You decide when and how to engage with the course materials. There are no deadlines, live sessions, or required meeting times.
Independent learning: While the original course included discussions and peer reviews taking place in certain days and weeks, this format empowers you to work independently, using the same materials and guidance provided during the initial version. Please note that discussions in the forums and contributions on Padlets will not be moderated, allowing for a fully self-directed learning experience.
Self-assessment: To replicate some of the reflective benefits of peer feedback, you will be encouraged to evaluate your own work using the provided assessment criteria.
