For his part, Prof. Ahmad Abu-El-Haija, director of Jordan National Erasmus+ office highlighted Jordan's active participation in the program over the past 20 years, pointing out that in 2021, the program expanded its activities to include new crucial areas, particularly the youth and capacity building for vocational training sectors.

During the event, the available opportunities to various ministries, universities and local community institutions were also reviewed, as the new program will focus on vocational and technical education, in addition to building capacities of employees working at youth institutions.

The new programs will also provide opportunities for students, and lecturers to benefit from the available cooperation projects with European partners and credit mobility, as well as master's degree scholarships and travel opportunities for young people.
