This key action of the programme includes projects run both by the National Agencies (decentralized actions) and the European Commission’s Executive Agency of Education, Audiovisual and Culture (key actions-Education Audiovisual and Culture Executive Agency).
This Key Action supports:

• Strategic partnerships in the fields of education, training and youth (decentralized actions).

Strategic Partnerships / Partnerships decentralized activity and related cooperation projects, enable participating organizations to address jointly key issues, develop partnerships and share innovative practices.

Under Erasmus+ one organization will lead the project and manage the activities and funding on behalf of the partnership. Different sizes of partnership are possible so that smaller organizations can get involved.
