What Are KA121 & KA122 Mobility Programs in Cyprus?
Cyprus offers English-speaking Erasmus+ placements in a Mediterranean island setting with growing financial services and tourism industries. Concrete reasons institutions choose Cyprus 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 Cyprus: we source hosts in finance & shipping, tourism & hospitality and business services, 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
Across Cyprus's finance & shipping corridor anchored in Nicosia, our local desk runs this step end-to-end so the sending school never chases vendors. Companies in finance & shipping, tourism & hospitality, business services matched to learners' profiles, plus institutional hosts for staff flows.
Group accommodation
Coordinators based in Nicosia, Cyprus make this concrete for every finance & shipping cohort, with named contacts on both sides. Bulk-friendly accommodation (residences, group apartments) near workplaces in Cyprus.
Insurance & liability
In Cyprus this stage flows through our Nicosia regional team covering finance & shipping hosts, so timelines stay aligned with the learning agreement. Travel, medical and civil-liability for both learners and staff for the full mobility window.
Operational coordination
Built around Cyprus's finance & shipping host expectations from Nicosia outward and the regional cost band so budgets stay predictable. Airport pickup, induction, weekly attendance, mid-term and final evaluations.
Beneficiary Module closure
Within Cyprus's finance & shipping network around Nicosia, this layer is delivered by the same team that vets hosts and signs the agreements. Mobility tool exports, Europass certificates, host evaluations — audit-ready.
