On 3 July 2026, the online Policy Dialogue Conference “Inclusive and Accessible Erasmus+ Actions” took place. The event was organised by the National Erasmus+ Office in Georgia with the support of the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union.

AGENDA

The target audience included representatives of higher education institutions, schools, VET providers, youth and civil society organisations, Erasmus+ beneficiaries and applicants, National Erasmus+ Agencies, National Erasmus+ Offices, and other stakeholders from the Neighbourhood East region.

The conference focused on inclusion and diversity as one of the four horizontal priorities of the Erasmus+ Programme. Participants learned about the perspectives of Erasmus+ National Agencies from EU Member States on ensuring inclusive participation, fair selection procedures, and monitoring inclusivity during project implementation.

The event also facilitated dialogue among organisations from the Neighbourhood East region and European Erasmus+ stakeholders.

The National Erasmus+ Office – Ukraine shared Ukraine’s experience in implementing the Erasmus+ inclusion and diversity priorities, as well as national specificities during martial law. Ukrainian educational institutions joined the event for discussions. In total, about 80 participants represented the Neighbourhood East region countries.
