The Open Public Consultation has been launched on 28 February to seek the views of the general public on the Erasmus+ programme, as well as its predecessor programmes (Lifelong Learning, Youth in Action, Erasmus Mundus). The results of this consultation will fit into the mid-term evaluation of the Erasmus+ programme that the Commission shall finalise by the end of this year. Young people, students, teachers, youth workers, staff, employers, organisations and other parties can submit their contributions until May 2017.
