KA1
Key Action 1 supports mobility in the fields of education,
training and youth sectors, in order to bring long lasting
benefits to the participants and the organisations
involved.
The Education, Audiovisual and Culture Executive
Agency (EACEA) takes care of the selection of projects
under:
Large Scale European Voluntary Service Events
Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Degrees
The other strands of KA1 are managed nationally by
the National Agencies.

Let’s go to
the UK
National
Agency
website
BUT!
Before Starting:
1. Read the Call for Proposals and Programme Guide on your
country National Agency website.
2. Applications for funding are made at an organisational level.
3. It is necessary to have partners from abroad - to find
partners you can use eTwinning, or your personal contacts,
or even LinkedIn.
4. You can submit your proposal in the official language of the
country where the National Agency is located.
5. Only one of the partners – the coordinator – submits the
application and must submit it to the National Agency of its
country.
6. You must have registered on the European Commission
Authentication Service (ECAS) and obtained your Participant
Identification Code (PIC) from the Participant Portal (URF).

What I am
actually
supposed to
do?
Let’s get
cracking!
Teaching or training abroad: Mobility for
school staff (Key Action 1)
‘Mobility’ usually means to spend time abroad. Mobility projects can
cover one or more of the following: study courses, observation, job
shadowing, training, and teaching.
Mobility for VET learners and staff (Key
Action 1)
Learners can spend time in a work place to gain experience or at a VET
school where they will also spend time in industry. Staff can also
benefit from funding opportunities to support their professional
development or by job shadowing.
Mobility for young people and youth workers
(Key Action 1)

Mobility
for school
staff (Key
Action 1)
School staff mobility activity could include:
a teaching assignment: allowing staff of school
education organisations to teach at a partner
organisation abroad;
staff training: supporting the professional
development of school staff (including non-
teaching staff) in either:
participation in structured courses or training
events abroad; or
a job shadowing/observation period abroad in
any relevant organisation active in school
education.

Mobility
for school
staff (Key
Action 1)
The project lasts from between one to two years,
but for individuals or groups the effective time
abroad can span from two days to two months.
Mobility projects are transnational, and so all project
activity - except structured courses or training
events - must involve at least two schools.
To successfully apply for funding for a Key Action 1,
the project should be aiming to support the
professional development of some or all of the
school staff, as a part of the school’s European
Development Plan.

Let’s Do It!
1. We will split in groups
2. Each member of the group will have 2
minutes to present her/himself, what her/his
school can offer, which are, in her/his opinion
the needs of the school. While listening,
please, take notes.
3. Each group will have 10 minutes to think
about a KA1 project created according to the
schools needs and resources.
4. Each group will pick a spokesperson, who will
outline the project for the colleagues in 3
minutes.
the important thing is the overall
idea/programme, if you think your project may
be viable, stay in touch!
