The Erasmus+ Programme decentrally managed includes three key actions: KA1 for mobilities and KA2 for strategic partnerships under the Education and Training (E&T) and Youth fields, and KA3 for supporting dialogue with policy makers in the Youth field. The Programme covers the E&T and Youth fields within the fields of Higher Education (HE), Vocational Education and Training (VET), School Education (SE), Adult Education (AE) and Youth. Erasmus+ in Turkey is co-managed by the Centre for European Education and Youth Programmes (NA) who acts as the National Agency responsible for implementation, and the Ministry for EU Affairs (MEU) who acts as the Turkish National Authority (NAU) on behalf of the Minister, being in charge of monitoring and supervision. The main conclusions of this mid-term evaluation as per criterion are as follows: Effectiveness: Effectiveness of Erasmus+ implementation is very high in Turkey, contributing substantially to the achievement of its specific objectives as stated in the Erasmus+ Programme Guide, namely, (i) improvement of the skills and competences of the target groups, knowledge on the EU cultures, values, E&T and Youth organisations and systems, (ii) quality improvements, innovation of excellence and internationalisation in E&T and Youth fields, (iii) emergence and raised awareness of European Lifelong Learning (LLL) area to complement policy reforms, in addition to recognition of non-formal and informal learning, increasing the international dimension of E&T and youth activities, (iv) teaching and learning of languages, and (v) addressing disadvantaged groups with special needs and fewer opportunities. Furthermore, the contribution to the achievement of the general objectives of Erasmus+ through its implementation in Turkey is assessed to be significant, which particularly benefits from the coherent objectives of the strategy and policy documents of the EC and Turkey with reference to ET 2020 and Europe 2020. As an accession country, Turkey is not included in the ET 2020 monitoring process. Still, the influence of Erasmus+ and its predecessor programmes has been highly visible in all fields of E&T and Youth. Positive aspects of the integration of programmes with Erasmus+ include continuity of the high prestige and ownership, a more structured feature with the institutional approach and wider target groups as well as the focus on innovation and creativity for high competitiveness. On the other hand, as the Programme does not allow for national priorities specific to the country needs only, a few negative aspects mainly include limited differentiated approach to access different disadvantaged groups, to implement small-scale Youth actions at local level and limited language support specific to different beneficiaries of different actions. The activities implemented under the three KAs demonstrate positive complementarity throughout a spectrum of effects at individual, institutional and system levels, while dissemination and exploitation of results could be further facilitated to improve effectiveness. Efficiency: Erasmus+ is managed efficiently in Turkey, yet there is still need for improvement at Programme level to reduce the administrative burden on the applicants and the beneficiaries, most of whom find the application forms, implementation procedures and reporting rather complicated and lengthy. Even though the IT tools have enhanced efficiency, its design needs to be further improved to become more user-friendly, avoid inconsistencies, to allow for data sharing and to reduce difficulties of PIC usage and its security. The increased budget of Erasmus+ has been successfully managed having a special emphasis on cost- effectiveness in Turkey. Distribution of funds among KA1, KA2 and KA3 to date is considered as balanced, proportionate and appropriate, in general. However, the distribution of KA1 funds among its projects is not well balanced due to the lack of upper limits for individual projects. High ownership and capacity of the beneficiaries play important roles in the successful management of the projects, while various difficulties related to visa procedures continue to hinder efficiency. Several striking good project practices exist delivering high quality outputs under all KAs. However, the level of utilisation of the Turkish beneficiaries from the centrally managed programmes, particularly for Sport, remains to be low. Access to grassroots level target groups could be efficiently and effectively managed should the Sport

    EURODESK SURVEY 2018 Youth Information: supporting you in going abroad! Fields marked with * are mandatory. 1 Introduction Eurodesk is one of the main providers of European youth information about volunteering, training, study and work opportunities abroad. We believe that a learning experience abroad strongly contributes to improving one's employability, stimulates creativity, personal development and the development of competencies, helping people to positively interact in an intercultural society. As a European network dedicated to the promotion of learning mobility opportunities and offering free quality information and support to young people and youth professionals, we would like to better understand how you engage with this information. What type of information are you looking for? Which sources are you using? Who do you turn to for advice? The survey is targeted to those of you between 13 and 35 years old. Regardless if you have had, or have not had a mobility experience, we want to hear what you have to say! Your answer will allow us to understand how Eurodesk, as well as national and European institutions, could improve their services. The survey will only take 10 minutes and at the end, you can compete for a nice prize! 2 General Information * Your Age Under 15 15 - 19 20 - 24 25 - 29 30 - 35 * Indicate your citizenship Albania Armenia Austria 1 Azerbaijan Belarus Belgium Bosnia and Herzegovina Bulgaria Croatia Cyprus Czech Republic Denmark Estonia Finland France Georgia Germany Greece Hungary Iceland Ireland Italy Kosovo*
