Erasmus + is an EU program in the fields of academic and vocational training, youth and sport. It can significantly contribute to acceleration of socio-economic changes, to resolution of pressing problems that Europe faces by the end of this decade as well as to implementation of a Europe 2020 strategy aimed at equality, increasing employment and social integration. Struggle against high levels of unemployment, especially among young people, is one of the top priorities for European governments. Too many young people leave school prematurely and are at high risk of unemployment and social exclusion. Many low-skilled adult workers also face the same risk. Technologies change the way the society functions and there is a need to ensure the more effective their use.
