Erasmus Plus

#1 Improve teaching and learning
Whether the aim is to improve teaching or curricula, foster interdisciplinary learning,
develop new curricula, or integrate technology in the classroom – you can achieve it
with Erasmus+. European activities provide opportunities for staff and pupils to develop
and reflect on learning and teaching together with staff and pupils from other schools
and organisations (such as universities, libraries, museums and science centres).

#2 Expand pupils’ horizons and raise their
aspirations
An Erasmus+ project can enable staff and pupils to work with partner schools on
learning activities and learn from visiting teachers and pupils.
Through collaborative activities with peers in other countries, pupils can move
beyond the textbook and explore data, knowledge and experiences in a direct and
immediate way. In this way, pupils develop intercultural understanding and gain new
perspectives on their own learning.
Pupils can also collaborate online through eTwinning activities, which provide a
real audience for their work, as well as opportunities to improve ICT, linguistic and
interpersonal skills.

#3 Provide unique professional development
experiences for school staff
Giving staff the opportunity to get involved with international professional
development opportunities is a great way to invigorate your team. The activities
enable teachers and other school employees to acquire new learning and teaching
methods and tools, and explore a variety of learning and teaching practice across
Europe. Often the Erasmus+ activities are a catalyst for change – for participants and
the whole school.
