Baltic Orbis takes part in Erasmus+ programme. Erasmus+ is the European Union programme for education, training, youth and sport. It runs for seven years, from 2014 to 2020, with organisations invited to apply for funding each year to undertake creative and worthwhile activities.

 Erasmus+ aims to modernise education, training and youth work across Europe. It is open to education, training, youth and sport organisations across all sectors of lifelong learning, including school education, further and higher education, adult education and the youth sector. 

 Baltic Orbis  project Nr. 2015-1-LT01-KA202-013501 “Coding skill development using robotics for young Europeans” based on 2nd main action on vocational learning sector strategic partnership is included into future funding list.

During the project we aim to create interactive STEM learning programs with robotics. These programs will be used by 40 specially trained teachers from several EU countries, in their classrooms. Thus we plan that during the first year this new program will reach around 800 students.
