Abstract

The need to create a competitive framework of the Romanian education system and the current needs of the labor market have aroused the interest of the human resource in the pre-university education, which manifests its interest towards the European funds that can be attracted in the field of education and which are necessary for the creation of a context that raises the education system to the standards of the European Union, a fact also demonstrated by the legislation in force. By the Government Decision no. 76 / 27.01.2005 and the Government Decision no. 67/2007 has been designated the National Agency for Community Programs in the Field of Education and Vocational Training (“Agency”, AN), as an agency for implementing the community programs “Lifelong Learning” (LLP), “Youth in action” (YiA) and Erasmus Mundus from 2007-2013. This document included the Europass National Center, the Eurydice National Unit and the Eurodesk National Office in the AN. In 2013, through the Government Memorandum no. 10988/ 09.12.2013, AN was designated as the Implementing Agency for the Erasmus + program, from 2014-2020, having as a mission the administration of the European Union program that supports the national project for the better change of communities, attitudes and mentalities of individuals. Erasmus + is the EU program in the fields of education, training, youth and sport for the period 2014-2020. Education, training, youth and sport make a significant contribution to combating socio-economic change, to Europe’s greatest challenges by the end of the decade, and to the implementation of the European policies for growth, jobs, equity and social inclusion. Combating the rising unemployment rate - especially among young people, has become one of the most urgent tasks of European governments. Too many young people leave school prematurely, thus risking becoming unemployed and socially marginalized. The same risk threatens many low-skilled adults. The technologies change the way the company operates, so their full use is necessary. European companies need to become more competitive through talent and innovation. Europe needs more cohesive and inclusive societies that enable citizens to play an active role in democratic life. Education and youth activities are essential elements for preventing radicalization through violence and by promoting common European values, social inclusion, enhancing interculturality and a sense of belonging to a community. Erasmus + is an important tool for promoting the integration of people from disadvantaged backgrounds, of newly arrived migrants, responding to critical events affecting European countries. The Erasmus + program aims to help the countries participating in the program to effectively use Europe’s talent and social capital, in a lifelong learning perspective, by linking the support provided to formal, non-formal and informal learning in the fields of education, training and youth.
