Since its establishment, the Foundation Tempus has been actively involved in promoting and implementing EU educational programmes along with other educational programmes and various cooperation programmes aimed at all levels of education and supporting young people in the Republic of Serbia through the development, design and implementation of projects that enhance both formal and non-formal education and the development of human resources.
Through its work, the Foundation contributes to the development of education and human resources and the development of society as a whole. This is achieved by strengthening the capacity of youth organisations and other organisations, establishing cooperation with all social partners, international cooperation and working with individuals and institutions.
The Foundation Tempus contributes daily to the development of European standards in education, the implementation of the concept of the European dimension in the field of education, the promotion and popularisation of issues related to the field of education, educational policies and youth policies.
Operating under a formal mandate, the Foundation Tempus promotes and implements the largest programme of the European Union for cooperation in the fields of education, training, youth and sport – Erasmus+. Through a variety of activities, the Foundation supports both organisations and individuals in personal and professional development. This support encompasses career guidance, skills development, competences and qualifications, personal development and international mobility of key actors in the field of education, with a special focus on practitioners, young people and young people with disabilities.
In February 2019, the Republic of Serbia became a full member of the Erasmus+ programme which enabled institutions from Serbia to participate in all parts of the Programme.
