What Are KA121 & KA122 Mobility Programs in Latvia?
Latvia's growing IT sector and affordable cost of living make it an emerging Erasmus+ destination with unique Baltic professional experiences. Concrete reasons institutions choose Latvia 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 Latvia: we source hosts in it & digital services, business services and logistics, manage accommodation, run the logistics and provide audit-ready closure for the Beneficiary Module.
