ACCESS ERASMUS+ FUNDING FOR YOUR SCHOOL

As part of the Erasmus+ programme, eTwinning can be an important part of Erasmus+ as it is the easiest way for teachers to find and get to know partners whom they can then apply for funding with. The eTwinning platform can also be used to securely host, support and share Erasmus+ project work - all for free!

Erasmus+ offers schools funding for life-changing international activities.  

Through Erasmus+:

  • pupils can take part in international exchanges and study experiences - to develop new skills, raise their aspirations and gain vital international experience
  • staff can teach, train or job shadow abroad - to develop their professional practice, build relationships with international peers and gain fresh ideas
  • schools can collaborate with international partners - to drive innovation, share best practice, and offer new opportunities to young people.

The funding is open to UK schools and colleges providing general, vocational or technical education to pupils aged 3–18 years. Schools can apply individually, or as a consortium. The funding covers support for participants with disabilities or special educational needs.

GET STARTED ON ETWINNING: THREE SIMPLE STEPS

It’s a good idea to register with eTwinning before you apply for Erasmus+ funding. As a teacher in a school or college, eTwinning enables you to search for potential Erasmus+ partners from schools across Europe, engage in online partnerships and carry out projects within a secure platform - free of charge.  

  1. Register on www.eTwinning.net. Please note that your login details will also work on the School Education Gateway, where you can also find staff professional development and strategic partnership opportunities that qualify for Erasmus+ funding.
  2. Search and connect with a partner teacher who is ready to start an Erasmus+ project (you can indicate this on your eTwinning teachers desktop profile). Register an eTwinning project with your prospective Erasmus+ partner (which will also secure the foundation level of the International School Award for your school).
  3. Apply for Erasmus+ funding for your project.
