Educational stays in Europe from 2023 onwards: Apply for funding in autumn
Interest in implementing mobility projects has grown this year. All levels of education can report a growth in the number of funding contributions applied for compared to last year. However, the available funds have not yet been exhausted and will be awarded to projects in the 2nd deadline of 2022.
Do you like the idea of offering young people, young adults or adults educational stays in another language or cultural region?
Concrete activities can strengthen individual competences and institutional networks as well as promote international educational cooperation for the further development of one's own institution. Putting one's own discoveries into practice and sharing them with others can make the difference and provide new impetus.
Movetia promotes mobility and exchange projects in order for participants to gain insights in other countries, to familiarize themselves with other local realities, to grow personally from these experiences, to be inspired by other learning and teaching methods and thereby to further strengthen our educational system and the quality development of youth work.

The overall 2022 budget for European mobility projects amounts to over CHF 39 million (100%) across all areas. Depending on the education level, between CHF 250,000 to CHF 2 million of funding is still available for the second round of application in 2022.

In line with Erasmus+, Movetia is oriented towards the thematic priorities of the European programme generation 2021-2027 across all education levels. The transversal themes of "inclusion and diversity", "green mobility", "digital education" and "democratic participation" should find their way into the various projects.
