Training Course: The plus of Erasmus plus – ideas matching and project management in the Youth Field

3-9 October 2022 | Gijón, Asturias, Spain

This training course aims to offer a complete overview of the opportunities provided by each Key Action of ERASMUS+ in the field of Youth. Participants will gain knowledge, tools and the motivation needed to carry out specific and good-quality projects.
This training course aims to offer detailed and complete information about the different possibilities offered by Erasmus+ in the youth field, with particular emphasis on the philosophy, structure and characteristics of the Programme in general as well as each of its Key Actions and relative sub-actions.

Beyond the lack of information itself, far too often there are difficulties in matching specific ideas and needs with actual opportunities provided by the Programme. Likewise, many organizations and promoters still have trouble in recognizing the long-term process of designing, applying for and managing quality projects.

In this sense our course is aimed at both young people and organizations that have no experience in the Programme as well as project-coordinators and entities looking for training on new actions and sub actions and willing to improve the quality of their educational projects in the youth field.

Our objectives:

To present the Erasmus+ Programme in the framework of European youth policies and strategies.
To explore the vast range of opportunities offered by the different actions and sub-actions of the Programme.
To introduce the main features of the European Solidarity Corps.
To stimulate the practice in the management of international projects.
To boost mobility and learning opportunities within the framework of Non-formal Education.
To promote the recognition of non-formal learning.
