The EU is committed to continuous improvement in learning opportunities, and addressing educational challenges. In this frame, the European Education Area (EEA) initiative aims to create a more interconnected education system. The EEA's primary goals include enhancing cooperation and mobility in education and building inclusive systems. A significant aspect is the focus on learning mobility, aiming to overcome barriers for students and educators.
