ABOUT US
MOST+ is a professional exchange program between Belarusians and their colleagues from the European Union countries.
It is contributing to the mobility and internationalization of Belarusian professionals and supporting their integration into European-wide professional networks. In order to achieve this, MOST+ is aiming at creating sustainable relationships as well as at promoting fruitful exchanges and transfers between Belarusian and EU professionals and to conveying EU values and success factors to Belarusians industries and sectors.
EU4Belarus
Facilitating people-to-people contact has been a long-term priority for the EU’s relations with Belarus. The importance of it has been emphasized after August 2020. Therefore, within the framework of the action EU4Belarus, the MOST project was launched.
MOST+ aims at financing not less than 500 mobilities. It is the successor to the MOST I and MOST II projects which, from 2014 to 2020 have permitted to organize 4.873 individual mobilities for Belarusian professionals to the EU.
MOST+
MOST+ mobility scheme provides the opportunity to Belarusian professionals to participate in internships and other types of mobilities. Applications for mobilities are received on the Goethe-Application Portal hosted in Germany, which guarantees security and confidentiality. The mobility scheme is implemented by Goethe-Institut in Vilnius and will operate from November 2022 until July 2024. MOST+ is financed by the EU.
MOST+ is a twin project to SALT (Support to Advanced Learning and Training), a project also part of ‘EU4Belarus’, which focuses on the academic and student’s communities.
GOETHE-INSTITUT
We connect people all over the world. As a cultural institution of the Federal Republic of Germany, we promote cultural exchange, education and societal discourse in an international context, and support the teaching and learning of the German language. Together with our partners, we focus on global opportunities and challenges, bringing different perspectives into a dialogue that is based in trust. We regard the ability to listen and to reflect as the key to understanding. We are bound by principles of transparency, diversity and sustainability. These principles characterize our services and our way of working.
Implementing MOST+, we draw on our experience of successfully implementing the previous MOST projects (phases I and II) from 2014 to 2020. While those were organized by the Goethe-Institut in Belarus, MOST+ is based at the Goethe-Institut in Lithuania. Goethe-Institut currently also leads two consortia in delivering EU-funded projects in the region with mobility components that aim to enhance better understanding between the Eastern Partnership countries and the EU, House of Europe Ukraine and EU4Culture.
