European values and policies: the Erasmus+  course should reflect the values of the European Union and contribute to the European policies supported by the Erasmus+ programme.

Composition of the group and networking opportunities: the course provider should ensure that the composition of the group and the setup of the course gives participants opportunities to meet their peers from other countries. Participants should be able to share diverse practices and experiences; benefit from intercultural learning; and establish contacts with potential partners for future cooperation and exchange.
