The Erasmus Learning Academy (ELA), is a training centre that strongly supports and believes in the innovation, modernisation and internationalisation of education.
Our mission is to foster excellence and quality improvements in education and training. We design and deliver training courses and structured training events for teachers, trainers, headmaster and other education staff and we support them in participating in learning mobility experiences (e.g. jobshadowing, study visits, ...) to foster the improvement of their competences and the quality of education. We work in the education sector since more than 10 years, thus we know the real context and the challenges which teachers are facing every day. Fueled by our genuine, motivated and passionate approach, we regularly participate in international training and European conference to keep our know-how up-to-date. We actively participate in the network of Erasmus organizations in a multitude of ways: hosting participants from other countries and sending our staff abroad through Erasmus+ KA1 mobility projects; taking part in conferences and contact activities organised by the National Agencies and the EU institutions; ideating or participating in Erasmus+ KA2 innovation projects and strategic partnerships; sharing our knowledge with other organisations that have less experience in the Programme by providing advice, mentorship or other support. We’ve a strong know-how in organizing international training courses for teachers, headmasters and educational staff and in the last 5 years we’ve successfully received and trained over 3000 teachers and education staff coming from all over Europe as you can read from the reviews at on School Education Gateway and on our website. We’ve extensive experience in delivering education staff training especially in the framework of European programmes. We’ve experience in providing linguistic, pedagogical and cultural preparation before the course as well as support and assistance during and after it. We know how to support and guide participants providing clear and comprehensive information before the courses and how to assess and recognize their learning outcomes through national and European instruments (i.e. Europass, ECVET, …). We put a strong effort on facilitating the share the process of sharing results and knowledge gained during the course. Past participants appreciated especially the quality of instructions, our interactive and hands-on approach focused on practice and experiential training as well as our support in project implementation, practical arrangements, certification and dissemination. Most of our participants receive funding from the Erasmus+ programme. If you’re eligible to receive a grant from Erasmus+ you shall consider that we can support you by providing: - advices and information during the application phase; - support for the final report and the Mobility Tool filling; - all the documents needed (certificates, invoices, invitation letters, …) in the format requested by Erasmus+ National Agencies and European authorities; - support to disseminate your project and its results thanks to our strong communication channels. As partner, we bring a strong added value to an Erasmus+ project thanks to our long-lasting experience, our international presence (eTwinning, SEG, EPALE…), our involvement as stakeholder in EC initiatives and our dissemination and visibility capacity. We work in the education sector since more than 10 years, thus we know the real context, the challenges that teachers are facing every day.

This year's additions are designed to address the holistic needs of educators and students in the evolving educational landscape. Our new course "Well-being and Mental Health strategies" provides educators with the tools to identify and support students facing emotional challenges. It's an essential step towards creating a supportive school environment focused on mental well-being. Similarly, "Mindfulness and Meditation" is aimed at enhancing the well-being of both teachers and students, introducing mindful practices that encourage focus, participation, and resilience against stress. Additionally, "Yoga for teachers and education staff" focuses on the incorporation of yoga, meditation, and mindfulness into educational settings.
