Welcome

 

This page explains how to manage activities in KA210- Small-scale partnerships projects, using a Call 2022 project as an example.

The activities defined in the grant agreement are created automatically in the project when it becomes available under My Projects of the Erasmus+ and European Solidarity Corps platform. The details of these predefined activities that were provided in the signed grant agreement can no longer be modified at this stage. These include things such as the start date, end date, lead and participating organisations or your answers to certain questions. You are, however, required to answer additional questions related to the implementation of these activities. You will be able to do so by editing the activities.

If you wish to implement additional activities or if you need to replace any of the predefined activities with a new activity during the implementation phase, you can report on the new activities by adding them in the project. In such cases, you will be asked to provide a justification for each new activity, and the awarded grant (lump sum) does not change, even though the total allocated budget for all activities may be higher than the awarded grant (Project lump sum).

The contacts of all the organisations involved in the project can manage the activities in the project, provided they have edit rights in the project, while the project is in status Project ongoing.

The project activities must be checked and updated before the submission of the Final beneficiary report.

This page is relevant for:

  • Erasmus+, Call 2021 onward 
    • KA210-ADU - Small-scale partnerships in adult education
    • KA210-SCH - Small-scale partnerships in school education

3.2.1. Force majeure flag

Force majeure is:

An unforeseeable exceptional situation or event beyond the participant's control and not attributable to error or negligence on their part.

Source: Erasmus+/European Solidarity Corps programme guides 2024, Glossary

Force majeure situations can arise anywhere and at any time, and include factors such as sudden disease, accidents, death, earthquakes and other causes.

In a project, check the Force majeure flag to indicate that a project activity (i.e. mobility activity, group activity, participations, events, transnational project meetings, etc.) is considered as a case of force majeure.

When you check this flag (tick box), certain fields and grants for the activity may be affected and must be checked and/or updated.

In addition, you must fill in the additional Force majeure explanations field, describing the facts that prove the activity should be accepted as a case of force majeure.

 

In predefined activities, the Grant Amount allocated to the Activity remains read-only if the Force majeure flag is checked.
