Erasmus+ receives on-going evaluations that are undertaken by the projects. A full impact assessment report is not due until 2020. However, feedback from stakeholders and projects illustrates the difference that the initiatives are making. The Erasmus+ programme has played a significant role in broadening Scottish young people’s educational experience, developing their cultural awareness and increasing their employment prospects. Since 2014, more than 15,000 people have been involved in nearly 500 Erasmus+ projects across Scotland. The flow of people to and from Scotland supports the development of the skills, experience and global outlook that are necessary for Scotland’s society and economy to thrive.
