Operational since 2010, the Erasmus+ Coalition is co-led by the Lifelong Learning Platform and the European Youth Forum. It accounts for 81 EU-wide networks, with over 6200 member organisations that represent networks, institutions, coalitions of stakeholders in youth, sports, education and training at national, regional and local levels across Europe.
These members are stakeholders in the most famous EU programme, the Erasmus+. The Coalition aims to improve the programme’s implementation and to advocate on behalf of beneficiaries during Multiannual Financial Framework negotiations. The goal is fostering concrete proposals for current implementation and a comprehensive vision for the future.
In 2017, ahead of the Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF) negotiations, the Coalition set up a campaign to ask decision-makers for a ten times increase of the Erasmus+ budget! In 2025, ahead of the next MFF negotiations, the Coalition launched a new campaign for a five time increase of the Erasmus+ budget!
In 2024, the Erasmus+ Coalition launched a new campaign around the negotiations on the Multiannual Financial Framework for the period 2028-2034. The stakeholders call for a five-time increase of the Erasmus+ budget and a strong safeguarding of its current objectives and priorities which have been rated consistently as relevant (according to Erasmus+ Implementation Report 2021-2023).
The Coalition has prepared five key messages to support the five time budget increase. Read the Common Demands for the new iteration of the programme.
