• ON-LINE LANGUAGE SUPPORT

Erasmus+ is the new EU programme for education, training, youth and sport for the period 2014-2020. Erasmus+ offers opportunities to study, train, gain work experience or volunteer abroad and one of its strategic objectives is to strengthen linguistic skills and support language learning.

The Online Linguistic Support (OLS) supports language learning for Erasmus+ mobility participants. The OLS offers participants in Erasmus+ long-term mobility activities (Key Action 1) the opportunity to assess their skills in the foreign language(s) they will use to study, work or volunteer abroad. In addition, selected participants may follow an online language course to improve their competence.

The amount of the funding will be based on the effective costs related to the mobility period and will be considered as an extra funding due to special needs. The mentioned  costs will have to be motivated and properly  illustrated by the participant in the application form.

Directions to request these funds will be announced following the assignment of the grant.
