ELAN (Linguistic Exchanges and Innovative Learning through Mobility) seeks to improve foreign language skills, facilitate access to higher education and encourage student mobility, training and school exchange programmes within the region.

The objective is to reinforce young persons’ skills in order to improve their access to the labour market and to enhance the attractiveness of territories and finally, to promote a shared Caribbean identity as the basis for an efficient and sustainable regional integration.

The ELAN internship and study mobility programmes facilitates the mobility of students in the Caribbean by awarding them a scholarship of 700 € per month and a one-time travel allowance based on the destination and the country of origin (travel allowance amount available here).

Kindly note that applications must be submitted at least 2 months before the intended date of departure to your destination.
