Teacher Training (Erasmus+) Course 2018

                    Questions & Answers
                    What is Erasmus+?
                    Erasmus+ is the European programme in the field of education and, as the successor to Comenius, and other similar programmes, it has taken over the funding of
                    training for teachers in other European countries from 2014 to 2020.

                    What sort of training is funded?
                    Key Action 1 of Erasmus+ is all about providing opportunities to improve the skills, enhance the employability and develop the cultural awareness of professionals
                    involved in education. It supports participation in a variety of opportunities to broaden knowledge and skills including structured study, and training events in a
                    relevant organisation active in the field of school organisation, such as Future Learning.

                    Is there funding for second level schools?
                    All schools that are recognised in their country are supported under this programme and can apply for funding under the heading of mobility for school staff.

                    What does mobility mean?
                    Mobility means travelling to avail of professional development opportunities in other programme countries.

                    Can I apply for Erasmus+ as an individual?
                    Erasmus+ funding is institution-led. If you would like to know how to get involved in Erasmus+ speak to your school or college.

                    What is FL’s involvement?
                    Future learning is the course provider and will be your receiving organisation in Ireland for the purpose of the application and will be organising the training event.

                    Who is eligible to apply for funding?
                    Organisations across all sectors actively involved in delivering formal and non-formal education, training and youth work are able to apply for funding for their staff
                    and learners and are accepted as such by their national agencies.

                    Who do I apply to?
                    You apply to the National Agency who manage your application and project.

                    Which countries are eligible to participate in Erasmus+?
                    Full participation in the programme is open to the 27 EU Member States as well as five non-EU Member States (former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Iceland, Norway,
                    Liechtenstein, Turkey). Other countries can participate in the programme on a limited basis and may participate in certain actions or according to specific conditions.

                    What is the deadline for funding applications?
                    The deadline for applications for school staff mobility is at the beginning of February.

                    When will I find out if we got the funding?
                    Four months after the submission deadline the school will be notified of the decision and get a date for the signing of the grant agreement.

                    When would we receive the funding?
                    The school will receive 80% of the funding awarded in advance and 20% of the funding within 60 days of submitting the final report on completion of the project to
                    the National Agency.

                    How can FL help with this process?
                    We are available to help with any questions you may have during the process and will help in any way we can with the application. Funding will be approved for your
                    school by your national agency which means that, while we can provide support, we are not actually involved in making the application.
