Making Erasmus+ accessible to people with fewer opportunities – Exchange of views with Commissioners Hahn and Ivanova at the European Parliament

On 11 March, a joint meeting of the European Parliament’s committees responsible for Culture and Sport (CULT) and Budget (BUDG) took place, aiming to discuss how to make the Erasmus+ programme accessible to people with fewer opportunities.
During the dialogue, Commissioner Ivanova mentioned sport as one of the main fields of Erasmus+ where measures to foster inclusion are taken. A successful project in Cyprus dedicated to inclusion and diversity, non-discrimination, and safe and accessible sport was mentioned. Commissioner Ivanova also addressed members of the CULT Committee in a separate meeting, during which she mentioned the upcoming EU Sport Forum (16-17 April), marking 100 days until the start of the Olympic Games. The main topics of the Forum will be integrity, sustainability, and equality.
