[Impact Stories](https://www.leargas.ie/impact-stories/) # Getting Started with Erasmus+ School Education *Calling all schools interested in Erasmus+! In this blog the Léargas Schools team answer some frequently asked questions from principals and teachers interested in getting involved in Erasmus+* ## **Erasmus+ Opportunities 2021-2027** The new Erasmus+ programme runs from 2021-2027 and aims to be even more inclusive, accessible, and sustainable. Important goals include supporting digital transition in European education and helping to build the European Education Area.  You can find out more about Erasmus+ on [the Léargas website](https://www.leargas.ie/erasmus-plus/) and learn more about [Erasmus+ Priorities](https://www.leargas.ie/erasmus-plus/erasmus-priorities/).     --- ## **Where Does Our School Start?** One of the first steps for **all schools** applying for funding under Erasmus+ School Education is to **set up your own Organisation ID (OID)** which must be used in the application form. Schools apply directly to the European Commission through an online application form so your school will need its own Organisation ID to apply. You can refer to our [Guide to Your Organisation ID](https://insights.leargas.ie/organisation-id-guide)for more information on how to set up yours!   Once you've set up your Organisation ID we recommend you take a look take a look at the [Programme Guide](https://erasmus-plus.ec.europa.eu/erasmus-programme-guide) for more details on the programme priorities, type of activities, budget and implementation. (The School Education section begins on page 99).   --- ## **When Can Our School Apply?** The next [deadline for Erasmus+](https://www.leargas.ie/application-process/deadlines/) School Education applications is 11am 1 October 2024 for projects starting between 1 January and 31 May 2024 --- **![Students from Balbriggan Educate Together enjoying Schools Week](https://blog.leargas.ie/hs-fs/hubfs/Banner%20Images/Balbriggan%202(1).png?width=1861&name=Balbriggan%202(1).png)** ## **How Does Our School Prepare our Erasmus+ Application?** ### **Attend a Léargas Application Workshop** Register here on our [Léargas Eventbrite page](https://www.eventbrite.ie/e/ka122-application-clinic-schools-adult-education-tickets-629877078297?aff=oddtdtcreator). --- ### **Register on eTwinning** eTwinning on the [European School Education platform (ESEP)](https://school-education.ec.europa.eu/en) is the best tool to find partners. eTwinning is a free online platform connecting more than one million teachers across Europe.
