The key needs and goals of the members of this new consortium are: i) to benefit from the opportunity that Erasmus Plus presents (particularly to address key training needs, set out below) ii) to learn about Erasmus Plus processes including the development of European Development Plans to address a number of clearly identified training needs that can be addressed through membership of and participation in this new network, and iii) to build capacity among members to be involved in future KA1 and possibly KA2 opportunities
Many smaller Adult Education Organisations are reluctant to try KA1 on their own. There is a greater willingness to try out something small in a network lead by an experienced Group. In this case SHEP is willing and happy to play this role and willing to share their experience.
