9.1.5.1.2. Making the mechanisms for disadvantaged learners visible and accessible: case of the funding actions
The new 2021-2027 Erasmus+ programme provides additional funding to accompany those who need more help and reach out to those who do not know about the programme, or hesitate. Also, provides additional funding to reach out and help institutions working with people with fewer opportunities to encourage them to organise mobilities for this target group. Moreover, all instructions with Erasmus mobility accreditation can request for additional grant for participants with fewer opportunities at any time during the 12 months from the start of the project implementation.

Erasmus+ National Agency regularly informs VET institutions which apply for Erasmus+ mobility projects about the possibilities to receive additional funding for learners with fewer opportunities during the consultation days and webinars. Also, the Erasmus+ National Agency organised a national virtual conference with translation into sign language. Good-practice examples from different sectors, new programme opportunities for organisations and participants with fewer opportunities were presented during the event at the end of 2021.
