What Are KA121 & KA122 Mobility Programs in Belgium?
At the heart of the EU, Belgium offers unique mobility placements in international affairs, logistics, and multilingual business environments. Concrete reasons institutions choose Belgium for KA121 & KA122 Mobility & Internships. KA121 and KA122 are the Erasmus+ actions that fund group mobility for schools, VET providers and adult-education centres. KA121 supports accredited organisations with a multi-year plan; KA122 is the short-term flow for non-accredited senders. Both fund student internships and staff training (including job shadowing). Piktalent acts as the local intermediary in Belgium: we source hosts in international affairs, logistics & trade, business services and hospitality & gastronomy, manage accommodation, run the logistics and provide audit-ready closure for the Beneficiary Module.

What's Included
Every programme includes comprehensive services managed end-to-end by Piktalent.
Host sourcing
Coordinators based in Brussels, Belgium make this concrete for every international affairs cohort, with named contacts on both sides. Companies in international affairs, logistics & trade, business services matched to learners' profiles, plus institutional hosts for staff flows.
Group accommodation
In Belgium this stage flows through our Brussels regional team covering international affairs hosts, so timelines stay aligned with the learning agreement. Bulk-friendly accommodation (residences, group apartments) near workplaces in Belgium.
Insurance & liability
Built around Belgium's international affairs host expectations from Brussels outward and the regional cost band so budgets stay predictable. Travel, medical and civil-liability for both learners and staff for the full mobility window.
Operational coordination
Within Belgium's international affairs network around Brussels, this layer is delivered by the same team that vets hosts and signs the agreements. Airport pickup, induction, weekly attendance, mid-term and final evaluations.
Beneficiary Module closure
Mapped to how Belgium employers in international affairs — from Brussels onward — actually onboard interns, not to a one-size-fits-all checklist. Mobility tool exports, Europass certificates, host evaluations — audit-ready.
