This is for you if...
You are a local or regional school authority or a school coordinating body that wants to lead a strategic school development project.
You want to learn how to compose a convincing and well-documented KA240 application with realistic chances of funding.
You are a general education school or an organisation in the school ecosystem considering taking part in a KA240 partnership as a partner.
Theory & practice. A complete journey into KA240.
Each module builds on and extends the previous one. By the end, you gain full understanding and hands-on experience for writing a KA240 application with strategic design and well-documented impact.
KA240 framework
Presentation of the action's rationale and objectives, with reference to the European Education Area and the Union of Skills.
Strategic partnership design
How to shape a transnational partnership that produces change at the level of a school education system, rather than an intervention in a single school. Partner selection, definition of shared objectives and balance of roles between school authorities and partner schools.
KA240 award criteria
Detailed presentation of the four award criteria according to the 2026 Programme Guide, with particular emphasis on Impact, which carries 35 of the 100 total points. Through examples and exercises, you learn to assess your proposal through the eyes of an evaluator.
Work package structure
How to organise the up to twelve work packages of KA240, with two mandatory ones for management and long-term impact, and the rest distributed across the action's two categories of activities. Hands-on practice in groups based on a hypothetical scenario.
Impact and sustainability
How to document impact at the level of school authorities, schools and the wider education system, and how to design results that are transferable and sustainable beyond the end of the project. Dissemination strategy at local, national and European level.
Complete application
Synthesis of all previous modules into a hypothetical KA240 application scenario. In groups, participants connect objectives, work packages, impact documentation and budget into a coherent proposal, and receive targeted feedback.
After the seminar, you will be able to:
You understand the framework, objectives and rationale of KA240 as an action under Key Action 2 of the Erasmus+ programme.
You think like an evaluator and understand in depth the four award criteria.
You design comprehensive work packages that cover both categories of activities of KA240, with a clear distribution of roles between school authorities and partner schools.
You document the impact of your project with specific qualitative and quantitative indicators that are appropriate to your objectives.
You write a complete KA240 application with realistic chances of funding.
