There is a growing interest in educational programs abroad.

That is the highest number since the program's launch in the Czech Republic. Last year alone, over twenty-five thousand people took part in educational programs abroad thanks to the EU project. One fifth more schools have applied for the opportunity to send their students abroad this year. Institutions educating adults, such as libraries and museums, submitted about forty percent more applications. And there has also been an increase in interest from organizations such as scout groups and children's homes.
