Erasmus+ Courses for Language Teachers
If you’re a teacher or school staff member in an eligible EU or EEA country, Erasmus+ funding can cover the cost of professional development through an approved provider.
International House is an approved Erasmus+ provider. That means your school or organisation can apply for Erasmus+ funding and use it to send staff on IH teacher development courses, without the cost coming out of your own pocket.

What is Erasmus+?
Erasmus+ is the EU’s programme for education, training, youth, and sport.
The Key Action 1 strand supports the mobility of school staff, including language teachers, for professional development abroad and through approved online providers.
Funding is applied for by your school or organisation, not by individuals. If your school receives a grant, you can be nominated to attend approved courses as part of your professional development plan.
Who can access Erasmus+ funding?
Teachers and staff at schools in EU member states
Staff at educational organisations in EEA countries and countries associated with the Erasmus+ programme
Participants nominated by an organisation that has successfully applied for an Erasmus+ grant
Eligibility rules change annually.
Check the latest guidelines with your national Erasmus+ agency or contact your school’s Erasmus+ coordinator.
