Capacity building in the field of sport
Summary
The actions supported under Key Action 2 (KA2) are expected to contribute significantly to the priorities of the Erasmus+ programme, to bring positive and long-lasting effects on the participating organisations, on the policy systems in which such actions are framed as well as on the organisations and persons directly or indirectly involved in the organised activities.
Depending on the field addressed and the type of applicant, these actions are managed either by the National Agencies or by the Education, Audio-visual and Culture Executive Agency (EACEA).
