Educational personnel outside Greece can participate with a grant as long as their organisation has received an ERASMUS+ KA1 grant or in some cases a KA2 grant that covers all the costs (travel, subsistence, course fee and issue of specialisation certificate).
Educational personnel outside Greece can apply through their organisation for an Erasmusplus KA1 mobility grant and you need to contact the Erasmusplus National Agency of your country for further details.
If you believe, your organisation can take advantage of any of the above options, please contact us with some more details for examining together your choices and how to exploit them. In any case, please have a look in our No-Risk Money Back Guarantee.
