About the Agency

The Agency consists of the Center for Educational Programs, the Center for Youth Programs, the Contracts and Monitoring Office, and the Marketing Office. In addition, our staff also includes a quality manager, a quality specialist, a financial manager and a financial specialist. 

In 2021, Erasmus + and the European Solidarity Corps Agency joined the Education and Youth Board. In essence, the Agency is the bearer of the continuity of the Archimedes Foundation, which has been the national Agency for education and youth programs in the European Union since 1997. 

As an agency, we are a valued assistant to all those institutions in the field of education and youth, where international cooperation and thus the strengthening of Estonia’s competitiveness and the development of the field of education and youth are emphasized. 

We support learning mobility for young people and adults, development in the field of education and youth, international cooperation, and projects that contribute to youth participation and society. 

We represent Estonia in international networks and cooperate with several partner organizations around the world. In addition to program specialists, the Agency includes Euroguidance, which supports career counselors, Eurodesk, which deals with international youth information, Nordplus, the European Language Learning Certificate, and the SALTO Participation and Information Resource Center. 

In its activities, the Agency takes into account the European context and core values and fulfills the goals and priorities of European and Estonian education and youth policy.
