(8a) In its communication on 'A stronger and renewed strategic partnership with the EU's outermost regions' of 24 October 2017, the Commission recognises that increased mobility of learners and staff in education and training, notably under the Erasmus + programme, would be highly beneficial for the outermost regions and undertakes to further adjust financial support to participants travelling from and to the outermost regions by maintaining specific funding rules for these regions under Erasmus + and to explore the possibilities of extending regional Erasmus + cooperation to further stimulate mobility between the outermost regions and neighbouring third countries.

(16) The Programme should be more inclusive by improving its outreach to those with fewer opportunities, including through more flexible learning mobility formats, and by fostering participation of small organisations, in particular newcomers and community-based grassroots organisations that work directly with disadvantaged learners of all ages. Virtual formats, such as virtual cooperation, blended and virtual mobility, should be promoted to reach more participants, in particular those with fewer opportunities and those for whom moving physically to a country other than their country of residence would be an obstacle, as is the case of young people from the outermost regions. Online cultural, social and linguistic preparation tools should be made available for young people from these regions, with fewer opportunities for access to all Erasmus + programme activities, and it should be a priority of this programme to reinforce the physical structures that provide them with local support. In order to support these additional inclusive measures, with a guaranteed impact on the future of young people from the outermost regions, the European Social Fund + should be used as a complement to Erasmus +.

(20a) The European mobility of teaching staff should be strengthened and the corresponding period should be considered for all purposes and may not be an obstacle to their progression, national internal mobility and the enjoyment of their retirement and social assistance rights. In order to increase access by teachers to this programme, their representative associations at national and regional level should be involved in local outreach campaigns to be coordinated by their respective national agencies.
