Find out how you can access life-changing opportunities for you, your learners and your colleagues.

The Erasmus+ programme provides grants for international placements and partnership projects. Applications open in November 2026 so it’s the ideal time to start your planning now. This opportunity is open to any organisations across the Community Learning & Development sector with various workstreams to consider applying under.

The British Council recently did an input at the Education Scotland ESOL network and Adult Literacy network. We recorded the presentation to share with a wider audience so please find the link here. 

The British Council have various recordings you can watch to learn more on their website:  https://www.britishcouncil.org/erasmusplus

There are sections for the adult learning sector and youth sector.

For the youth sector there are a series of webinars coming up – See here

If you need inspiration about the opportunities and benefits of international learning exchanges then have a look at our recordings which showcase four different local authorities from projects that took place this year through the Scottish Education Exchange Programme. All the projects really showcase the impact of being involved in opportunities such as this, along with the focused areas for improvement that the projects have inspired them to be taking forward.
