Vice-President Mînzatu highlights Erasmus+ in an exchange with the CULT Committee

During an exchange of views with the European Parliament’s Committee on Culture and Education (CULT), the Commission’s Executive Vice-President (EVP), Roxana Mînzatu, highlighted education, skills, and youth as central pillars of Erasmus+ within the upcoming Multiannual Financial Framework for 2028 to 2034. She presented Erasmus+ as a flagship programme, structured around three core pillars: reaching people, strengthening European values, and boosting Europe’s competitiveness. The Commission’s proposal places a strong emphasis on making Erasmus+ more accessible to less privileged young people. Sport also received significant attention, with the programme set to expand athlete mobility. In further discussion, Member of the European Parliament Lara Magoni (ECR) emphasised sport’s potential to empower young people and those with disabilities, calling for greater funding for sports initiatives. Laurence Farreng (Renew) questioned how sports mobility and alliances would be financed amid economic pressures. EVP Mînzatu responded that the aim is to maintain or increase funding, with Centres of Vocational Excellence (CoVEs) serving as networks to support these activities. Lastly, Sucana Glavak (EPP) called for a cross-sectoral approach linking sport with health and other sectors and raised the issue of media visibility for sport.
