Abstract - The Erasmus+ Programme brought new challenges and has created new dynamics in the International Relations Office and the Academic departments/faculties of higher education institutions. Through practical workshops, a group of diverse learners (academic and administrative staff), will address the topics of inclusion, diversity, intercultural competences, digital inclusion, and inclusive environment.

1. Inclusion, that over-rides any type of differences of gender, class, geography, etc and ensures inclusion and diversity, equality of opportunity.
2. Measures to be taken, the application of the fewer opportunities top-ups and the Erasmus+ inclusion support.
3. The development of new, more digital methodologies - the organization and the promotion of the BIP, the best practices and how to overcome difficulties.

The full programme will be available in mid-June.
