The program promotes equal opportunities and access, inclusiveness, diversity, and fairness in all its activities. This particularly applies to organizations and participants with fewer opportunities:

• Disability: includes physical, mental, intellectual, or sensory impairments which, in interaction with various barriers, may hinder an individual's full and effective participation in society on an equal basis with others.
• Health issues: barriers may arise from health problems, such as severe or chronic illnesses, or any other physical or mental health-related condition that could prevent participation in the program.
• Educational and training system-related obstacles: faced by individuals who for various reasons underperform in education and training systems, early school leavers, young people who are not in employment, education, or training (NEET group), and adults with a lower level of skills. Although other factors can influence, these educational difficulties, often arising from structural limitations in the educational system or not fully considering individual needs, can lead to barriers in participation.
• Cultural differences: while cultural differences can be seen as barriers in any situation, they can particularly affect people with fewer opportunities. These differences can pose significant learning barriers, especially to people of migrant or refugee background, newly arrived migrants, members of national or ethnic minorities, sign language users, persons with language adaptation and cultural integration difficulties, etc. Exposure to foreign languages and cultural differences in program activities can discourage individuals and limit the benefits of their participation. Such cultural differences can even prevent potential participants from applying for program support, representing a complete barrier to inclusion.
• Social barriers: difficulties in social adaptation, such as limited social skills, antisocial or high-risk behavior, (ex-)offenders, (ex-)drug or alcohol dependents, or social marginalization. Other social barriers may arise from family circumstances, e.g., if a person is the first in their family to attend higher education, a parent (especially a single parent), a caregiver, a breadwinner, an orphan, or lived/lives under institutional care.
• Economic barriers: arising from unfavourable economic conditions, such as low living standards, low income, students needing to work for self-sustenance, reliance on social welfare systems, long-term unemployment, severe situations or poverty, homelessness, indebtedness, or other financial difficulties. Other difficulties may result from the limited transferability of services (especially support for people with fewer opportunities) that need to be 'mobile' along with participants when going to a distant location or abroad.
• Discrimination-related barriers: may result from discrimination based on gender, age, ethnic origin, religion, belief, sexual orientation, disability, or intersectional factors (a combination of two or more of the aforementioned discrimination-related barriers).
• Geographic barriers: living in remote or rural areas, on small islands, or in peripheral/outermost regions, in suburbs, in areas with fewer services (limited public transport, poor infrastructure), or in less developed areas of third countries, etc.

For these categories, there is the possibility of receiving an additional amount of support for mobility.
