What are the main changes?

The main changes since 2015 included:

  • New opportunities in Vocational Education and Training Mobility (possibility for organisations to apply for mobility projects with and without a VET Charter)
  • More targeted Strategic Partnerships (clearer distinction between projects supporting innovation and supporting exchange of best practices)
  • Revised format of Sector Skills Alliances: two strands supporting needs identification and design and delivery of VET
  • New opportunities in sport: Small Collaborative Partnerships.

Throughout the Guide, a special focus was put on encouraging projects supporting social inclusion (notably of refugees and migrants), as well as preventing radicalisation.
