Erasmus Plus UK Funding for Language Teachers
As a French, Spanish, German or Italian teacher in the UK education system then you may be eligible to apply for a fully funded trip abroad to enhance your teaching skills. The Erasmus Plus UK funding applications deadline ends on 2nd February, which gives you two weeks to apply for this fantastic opportunity.
