There is room for improvement, therefore, in the promotion of youth work, artistic and cultural activities, understanding of democracy, adult education and mass sports.

(12a) Young people see Erasmus+ primarily as a programme for university students. At European, national and regional level, therefore, greater importance should be attached to raising the profile of the different areas and the sub-programmes relating to each area, including school-level education (Comenius), higher education (Erasmus), international higher education (Erasmus Mundus), vocational education and training (Leonardo da Vinci) and adult education (Grundtvig), as well as youth (Youth in Action) and sport.
