Fishbowl session
The ‘international dimension’ of Erasmus+, meaning cooperation with countries not associated to the programme, has seen significant consolidation in the current seven-year programme period. Four years in, it is time to take stock of achievements, brainstorm on making the best of existing possibilities and reflect on how the future actions, announced in 2025, can best be implemented to foster innovation and impact. This session will do this in a co-creation process with the audience.
