Hanta Educational Services Ltd (HESL) is a Dublin-based education and training organisation specialising in Erasmus+ training courses, youth-focused learning initiatives, and European cooperation projects. We work with schools, VET providers, adult education organisations, youth organisations, and public bodies across Europe.
HESL operates as part of the Hanta Associates Group, with offices in Ireland and additional bases in the UK and the UAE. Through our international network, we collaborate with partner organisations and employers across multiple EU countries and selected third countries.
With over a decade of experience, HESL supports educators, youth workers, jobseekers, and young people through high-quality training, structured projects, and innovative educational solutions aligned with European priorities.
Erasmus+ Training Courses and Upskilling Opportunities
Training is the core focus of HESL’s work. We design and deliver structured Erasmus+ training courses and upskilling programmes for education and youth-sector professionals, delivered in person, online, and through blended formats.
Our training activities support organisations applying for Erasmus+ KA1 mobility funding and are tailored to the professional development needs of:
- Teachers and school staff (primary, secondary and VET)
- Adult education educators and trainers
- Youth workers and youth organisation staff
- Non-teaching staff and project coordinators
- Jobseekers and young adults
Our training themes include innovative teaching methodologies, digital transformation and AI in education, inclusion and wellbeing, sustainability and green skills, media literacy and citizenship, youth engagement, and employability skills.
All courses place strong emphasis on practical application, reflection, and transfer of learning into professional practice.
Youth Work, Employability and Social Inclusion
Youth is a central focus of HESL’s activities. We design and deliver formal and non-formal learning initiatives that support young people, particularly those facing barriers to education, training, or employment.
Our youth-related work addresses youth employability, skills development, social inclusion, active citizenship, participation, and resilience, with particular attention to migrants, refugees, disadvantaged young people, and those at risk of exclusion.
These activities are delivered through local initiatives, transnational projects, training activities, and European cooperation programmes.
Erasmus+ KA2 Strategic Partnerships and European Projects
HESL has been actively involved in Erasmus+ KA2 Strategic Partnerships for several years, acting both as a coordinator and as a partner organisation. We contribute to projects from initial concept development through to implementation, evaluation, and dissemination.
Our expertise includes project design and needs analysis, consortium building and coordination, budgeting and financial management, quality assurance, monitoring and evaluation, and the organisation and hosting of local and international project activities.
Project themes have included teacher professional development, youth work innovation, inclusion and disability, migrant integration, early school leaving prevention, media literacy and digital citizenship, cultural heritage, health and wellbeing, social entrepreneurship, and gender equality.
Digital and Educational Resource Development
A key strength of HESL is the development of digital and educational resources tailored to diverse target groups and multicultural contexts. We create multilingual digital platforms, websites, portals, apps, and AI-powered tools, as well as educational resources such as toolkits, guidebooks, videos, modules, and training materials.
All resources are designed for use in both formal and non-formal education settings, with a focus on accessibility, transferability, and long-term impact.
Internships, Work Placements and Learning Mobilities
Alongside training and project work, HESL organises internship and work-placement programmes for VET learners, students, and young adults. These activities support employability, skills development, and international learning mobility.
We provide end-to-end support, including preparation, placement coordination, monitoring, and evaluation, working closely with sending institutions and host organisations.
International Network and Organisational Experience
HESL collaborates with schools, VET colleges, youth organisations, NGOs, public bodies, and employers across Europe and selected third countries. We have been active in the Erasmus+ programme since 2015 and maintain long-standing international partnerships that support high-quality delivery and sustainable cooperation.
