Inclusion support in KA1: what you can claim and how to justify it
For each participant with fewer opportunities, the organisation receives 125 € of inclusion support. On top of that, the participant’s extra costs linked to their situation, such as an accompanying person or special equipment, are covered at 100% of real costs if justified and approved by the National Agency. Exceptional costs for visas, vaccinations and expensive travel are separate.
Who counts as a participant with fewer opportunities?
People who face obstacles to taking part for economic, social, cultural, geographical or health reasons, a migrant background, disability, educational difficulties or other reasons that can lead to discrimination. The Programme Guide lists typical barriers; the list is not exhaustive.
What you can claim
| Line | Amount | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Inclusion support for organisations | 125 € per participant | Extra preparation, mentoring, adapted materials |
| Inclusion support for participants | 100% of eligible real costs | Accompanying person, adapted accommodation, special equipment |
| Exceptional costs | 100% (visas, vaccinations, medical certificates); 80% (expensive travel, financial guarantees) | Visa for a non-EU host country; travel the unit cost covers poorly |
Participants with fewer opportunities may also take part in shorter mobilities, from 2 days, if justified.
