Most conversations about Erasmus+ staff mobility jump straight to job shadowing or structured courses. There’s a third format sitting right between them in the Programme Guide — teaching or training assignments — and it works under a noticeably different set of rules than either of the other two.

If you’ve heard of a “European Development Plan” for Erasmus+ school applications, that term is out of date — it belonged to the 2014-2020 programme.

Two different doors into KA1 funding Schools and organisations in school education can access Erasmus+ KA1 mobility funding in one of two ways: a short-term project or an Erasmus Accreditation. They’re […]
Erasmus+ 2028–2034 is still a European Commission proposal, not adopted law — here’s what’s actually on the table, and what it would mean for staff mobility courses. If you’re planning teacher training years ahead, you’ve probably heard that Erasmus+ is getting a new seven-year cycle starting in 2028. What’s actually on the table right now […]
Erasmus+ staff mobility isn’t one format — job shadowing and structured courses are two distinct activity types, each with its own rules and duration limits.
