Subject matter
1. This Decision establishes a framework of inclusion measures for the Erasmus+ and European Solidarity Corps Programmes for the period of the 2021-2027 Multiannual Financial Framework. 2. It lays down the objectives of the framework and the actions and mechanisms to be implemented.
Objectives of the framework of inclusion measures
1. The general objective of the framework of inclusion measures is to facilitate the access to the Erasmus+ and European Solidarity Corps Programmes for people with fewer opportunities, to ensure the putting in place of measures to remove the obstacles that may prevent such access, and to serve as a basis for further implementation guidance as set out in the Annex. Based on the principle that the Programmes have to be accessible for all, regardless of the barriers people may face, the aim is to leave no one behind and contribute to more inclusive societies. 2. The framework of inclusion measures has four specific objectives: (a) mainstreaming inclusion and diversity as a cross-cutting priority and guiding principle; (b) ensuring the offer of inclusive features and mechanisms within the design of the Programmes and the budget allocated to its actions, and that the focus on inclusion and diversity is taken into account at all stages of the Programmes’ management; (c) establishing a common understanding of those who may be considered people with fewer opportunities and fostering a positive approach to diversity; (d) supporting beneficiary organisations in establishing more high quality projects that address inclusion and diversity, and in designing and implementing projects in a more inclusive and diverse manner. 3. The Annex to this Decision provides a non-exhaustive list of the actions which the Commission has taken and will take in order to provide guidance on the implementation of inclusion measures in the Erasmus+ and European Solidarity Corps Programmes.
