This Programme supports lifelong learning by fostering the educational, professional, and personal growth of individuals in education, training, youth, and sport. This contributes to sustainable growth, social cohesion, and innovation while strengthening European identity.
We engage in two key Erasmus+ activities: individual mobility (Key Action 1) and organizational cooperation (Key Action 2).

For students and interns from around the world, Lisbon offers an extraordinary backdrop for both personal and professional growth. Here, in the heart of Portugal, you'll find a place where tradition meets modernity, and every corner invites exploration. Discover why Lisbon is the perfect city to begin your journey.
