Vision Tree has been actively coordinating and partnering in Erasmus+ projects across the KA1 and KA2 actions, working with organisations from Portugal, Spain, Italy, Greece, Turkey, the Netherlands, Romania and beyond. Our team blends clinical psychologists, project managers, educators and digital specialists, giving us the rare ability to host groups whose learning objectives span well-being, inclusion, digital transformation, entrepreneurship, youth work, gender equality and STEM education.

Located in the multilingual heart of Brussels, we operate in English, French, Dutch and Turkish, with strong working contacts in additional languages through our partner network. We understand the administrative reality of Erasmus+: clear invoicing, signed attendance sheets, Europass-ready certificates, learning agreements aligned with your accreditation, and timely reporting evidence so your National Agency requirements are met without stress.

Whether you are bringing five staff members for a job shadowing week or thirty pupils for a youth exchange, you will work with a single dedicated coordinator from the first email to the post-mobility evaluation.

Navigating the Belgian educational landscape in the context of Erasmus+ requires more than cursory knowledge of the system. Our consultants are well-versed in the structure of Flemish, French-speaking and bilingual education in Belgium, in CVO adult learning, in VET pathways, and in the European competence frameworks (DigComp, LifeComp, EntreComp) that increasingly shape Erasmus+ deliverables.

We collaborate closely with sending institutions to map your learning objectives onto a coherent five-day, seven-day or two-week programme. Every activity is designed backwards from the learning outcomes in your Learning Agreement or your accreditation objectives, so the experience your participants live in Brussels translates directly into evidence for your final report and into measurable impact for your organisation back home.

Typical thematic strands we design around include inclusive education, digital transformation of schools, social-emotional learning, mental health in education, green skills, intercultural dialogue, citizenship education, entrepreneurship and 21st-century pedagogies.

As an organisation built around a working psychology centre, Vision Tree offers Erasmus+ groups direct access to clinical psychologists and trained facilitators who deliver evidence-based workshops on mental well-being, stress and burnout prevention, emotional regulation, classroom management and inclusive practice. These are not abstract lectures — they are interactive, scenario-based sessions designed for educators, youth workers, social workers and healthcare professionals.

Sessions we frequently integrate into mobility programmes include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) for educators, mindfulness and somatic regulation for high-stress professions, trauma-informed practice in school and youth settings, supporting students with anxiety or ADHD, peer-support group facilitation, and intercultural competence for teachers working with migrant or diaspora learners. Each workshop combines theory, practice and reflection, with take-home tools your participants can apply on the very first day back at work.

For youth mobilities, our psychology team also delivers age-appropriate sessions on identity, self-esteem, digital well-being, healthy relationships and emotional literacy — always in safe, structured group settings.

Vision Tree's technology department designs and delivers hands-on digital skills training tailored to the Erasmus+ priorities of digital transformation, cybersecurity awareness and responsible use of artificial intelligence in education. We host groups working on KA220-VET, KA220-SCH and KA220-ADU projects where digital competence is a core deliverable, as well as KA122 staff mobilities focused on EdTech upskilling.

Popular technology workshops include practical AI for educators (lesson planning with generative AI, ethical prompting, classroom guardrails), cybersecurity essentials for schools and SMEs (drawn from our CYBERSKILLS EU project work), digital storytelling and content creation for youth workers, no-code app prototyping, data literacy, and digital well-being and screen-balance strategies for young learners. Every track is mapped to the DigComp 2.2 framework, so participants leave with a clear self-assessment of their progression.

For groups in the creative and inclusive-tech space, we can also arrange demonstrations and joint sessions with our partner XR competence centres and accessibility-focused initiatives in Brussels.

Belgium hosts an unusually diverse ecosystem of schools, CVOs (adult education centres), social enterprises, public administration bodies and research-active SMEs — all within a short tram ride of central Brussels. Through our partner network we facilitate job shadowing in Belgian schools, kindergartens, VET providers, NGOs and public services, matched to the professional profile of each participant.

Typical job shadowing placements we arrange include primary and secondary schools (Dutch-speaking, French-speaking and international), CVOs delivering adult learning and integration courses, kindergartens and early-childhood centres, youth work organisations, mental health and care services, and digital-skills training providers. For longer mobilities we also coordinate vocational internships with hosting agreements, supervisor mentoring and Europass Mobility documentation.

All placements come with a structured observation framework, daily reflection prompts and an end-of-week feedback session with both the hosting supervisor and our coordinator, so the learning is captured systematically rather than left to chance.

Brussels is the political capital of the European Union, and one of the most powerful elements of any Erasmus+ programme we host is the chance to bring participants inside the European institutions themselves. We coordinate group visits to the European Parliament (hemicycle tour and Parlamentarium experience), guided sessions at the House of European History, and — depending on group profile and advance notice — meetings at the European Commission, the European Economic and Social Committee, the Committee of the Regions and the Permanent Representations of various member states.

For groups whose project focuses on European citizenship, democratic participation, gender equality (CERV-aligned themes), youth voice or policy advocacy, these visits transform abstract concepts into lived understanding. Participants do not just hear about the EU — they walk through the corridors where decisions are made, meet MEP assistants, civil servants or policy officers, and bring back stories and contacts that energise their work for years afterwards.

All institutional visits require advance booking, so we strongly recommend confirming your dates and group profile at least eight to twelve weeks in advance.

A great Erasmus+ mobility leaves participants with both professional learning and personal memories that bond the group long after they return home. We curate cultural programmes that go far beyond a generic city tour: guided walks through the UNESCO-listed Grand Place, the Royal Quarter and the comic-strip district, an Atomium and Mini-Europe combination for groups working on European identity, and full-day excursions to Bruges, Ghent, Antwerp or the Flanders Fields WWI memorial sites depending on your themes.

Hands-on cultural workshops can be added on request: artisan Belgian chocolate making, traditional Belgian beer culture education (for adult groups), waffle-making sessions, and intercultural cooking evenings where participants from different sending countries prepare a shared meal together. For groups interested in the Brussels diaspora and multiculturalism, we also organise community visits, mosque and church dialogue sessions, and meetings with grassroots associations.

International travel logistics can be daunting, especially when coordinating a group of staff or young people across borders. We eliminate these hurdles by providing a comprehensive range of services — from Brussels Airport (BRU) and Charleroi Airport (CRL) transfers to managing inter-city travel, daily transport to activity venues and excursion coaches. We also assist with public transport orientation (STIB/MIVB) so participants can move confidently around the city in their free time.

Our logistics team handles meeting-point coordination, real-time arrival monitoring, contingency planning for delayed or rescheduled flights, and SIM/eSIM guidance for participants who need connectivity from day one. For groups with accessibility requirements, we plan routes and venues that fully accommodate mobility, sensory or dietary needs.

A holistic Erasmus+ experience transcends academics — it encompasses the rhythm of daily Belgian life. We work with a vetted portfolio of hostels, aparthotels and hotels in central Brussels, selected for safety, walkability to public transport, breakfast quality and Erasmus-group friendliness. We match accommodation type and budget to your unit costs under the relevant Erasmus+ action, whether KA122 individual support, KA210 small-scale partnerships or KA220 cooperation partnerships.

Culinary experiences are integrated thoughtfully: welcome dinners in family-run Brussels restaurants, group meals featuring Belgian classics like stoemp, carbonnade flamande, waterzooi and the inevitable moules-frites, plus halal, vegetarian, vegan and allergen-aware options arranged in advance for every participant. Dietary requirements are confirmed at the registration stage and respected at every meal.

The success of an Erasmus+ programme often comes down to the small details, and that is where our on-the-ground team makes the difference. From the moment you land until your final transfer back to the airport, a dedicated Vision Tree coordinator is reachable by phone, WhatsApp or email for the entire group. We handle daily shuttles where needed, accompany participants to institutional visits, troubleshoot any unexpected situation (lost documents, medical needs, urgent communication with home) and provide a calm, experienced presence throughout the week.

Practical local support also includes city orientation walks on arrival day, multilingual emergency cards, restaurant and pharmacy recommendations, support with local documentation if needed, and end-of-mobility certificate ceremonies that turn the final day into a meaningful closing moment for participants and group leaders alike.

We do not sell off-the-shelf packages. Every Erasmus+ mobility programme Vision Tree hosts is built from scratch around your sending organisation's objectives, the profile of your participants and the action under which your project is funded. We start with a discovery call, review your Learning Agreement or accreditation goals, propose a draft daily agenda, iterate with you until it is exactly right, and then lock in the bookings.

Our standard hosting package can include any combination of: thematic workshops (psychology, technology, education, inclusion, sustainability), job shadowing days, EU institutional visits, cultural excursions, intercultural evenings, language taster sessions, networking with local Belgian organisations, and structured reflection and evaluation moments. Group sizes typically range from 5 to 30 participants, and programme length from 3 days up to 2 weeks.

We provide a clear, itemised offer in advance, signed hosting confirmation for your National Agency, an attendance-monitored programme, post-mobility certificates and an evaluation report you can attach directly to your final reporting.
