WHAT IS ERASMUS?
The “Erasmus” programme was originally established by the European Union in 1987. It looked to promote closer cooperation between universities and higher education institutions across Europe. This meant setting up an organised and integrated system of cross-border student interchange.
Over time, the programme has expanded in its breadth and depth and is now known as “Erasmus+”. Its extended form is a broad umbrella framework which combines former EU’s different schemes for transnational cooperation and mobility in education, training, youth and sport in Europe. Increasingly, it is also looking beyond Europe.
So far between 2014-2021, over 13 million people have taken part in Erasmus+, thanks to enthusiastic take-up of opportunities by staff, students, young people and learners of all ages. Source: https://erasmus-plus.ec.europa.eu/
We are part of this Erasmus+ dynamic!

Entrepreneurship for Green Rural Destinations
In implementing this project, we aim to promote the application of entrepreneurial skills in rural areas, targeted as green destinations to foster several benefits, ranging from economic development, empowering local enterprises in rural areas, increase self-reliance through new skills and competences. Also, we aim to provide educators with new teaching opportunities, enhanced teaching resources, professional development opportunities, collaboration, and networking opportunities. The activities have been designed in a manner to reach as many relevant persons as possible from educators to promising entrepreneurs in rural areas. Activities range from more green sustainable initiatives like webinars, virtual LTTs and also include opportunities for person-to-person meetings allowing for exchange of knowledge, skills, competences and cultural experiences.
Fagskolen Rogaland as coordinator has partnered up with Polygonal North oy (Finland), Perifereiako Gymnasio Agias Varvaras (Cyprus), Cankaya Ilce Milli Egitim Mudurlugu (Turkey), Escola Secundária Cacilhas-Tejo (Portugal) and Limerick and Clara Education and Training Board (Ireland).

Transformative Learning
Fagskolen Rogaland was recently awarded funding for a KA122-Vet short-term projects for mobility of learners and staff in vocational education and training.
As providers of vocational education and training, we wish to develop in a direction where we see our role in a larger context: as mediators of knowledge and learning, proactive social actors from Nordic & European contexts. We aim to support our students in acquiring new skills and knowledge to enhance their personal and professional development through the process of what we have defined as TRANSFORMATIVE LEARNING.

Experiential Entrepreneurship Labs (EELS)
Rogaland Polytechnic College has been granted funds for an Erasmus+ KA220 project with the title of “Experiential Entrepreneurship Labs” (EELS). The project, which will have a duration of 2 years, will be coordinated by Rogaland Polytechnic College. Our partners in this project are:
CKM Dubrovnik, Croatia
Olemisen Balanssia RY, Finland
TVW (thevisionworks), Germany
Momentum Marketing Services, Ireland
European E-learning Institute, Denmark
The project directly contributes to promoting greater levels of ENTREPRENEURSHIP and entrepreneurial thinking among young people. Rather than approaching entrepreneurship as a theoretical concept to be taught in the classroom (learning “about” entrepreneurship), the project introduces Experiential Entrepreneurship Labs as a more effective methodology. Our target groups are:
- Young people aged between 16 -25
- Youth educators
- Youth serving organisations
- Youth, Education and Entrepreneurship Stakeholders
