Measure KA1 of the Erasmus+ programme represents a unique opportunity for students, educators and professionals to undertake learning and growth at the European level. This specific Erasmus+ key action focuses on individual learning mobility, enabling participants to acquire new skills, improve their professional prospects and strengthen their sense of European citizenship.
Through KA1, you can access a wide range of activities, including:
- Mobility for students and trainees allows for periods of study or practical training at partner institutions and institutions in other countries.
- Mobility for educational staff, with opportunities to participate in training courses, job shadowing and teaching abroad.
- Projects to improve language, digital and intercultural skills, fostering integration in multicultural contexts.
KA1 mobilities, therefore, offer an essential contribution to participants' personal and professional development, making them protagonists of positive change in their communities and sectors.
For further details on the KA1 measure and the opportunities offered, please consult the official page of Erasmus+ Italy, KA1 section.
