Objectives

With this project, we want to improve our knowledge about the conditions of the Erasmus+ Youth and European Solidarity Corps programmes and to balance the knowledge and practices that we and the European partners have in developing joint projects. This we want to increase the capacities of the participating organisations and our competences as youth workers to develop more and better quality European projects for the young people within our target groups. The experience we have so far with these programmes has taught us that in each country, in each region, even in each entity, there is a different way of understanding the objectives of the programmes, the planning processes, coordination and implementation, the ways of selecting and working with participants, etc. These differences often result in difficulties and problems in carrying out a project at European level and complicate the achievement of the programmed results. Taking into account all of the above, we need to carry out this training course to improve our knowledge and our understanding of the Erasmus+ Youth chapter and ESC programmes, in addition to increasing our international cooperation capabilities to carry out more youth projects, with partners properly prepared and with the best possible quality. The specific objectives of these project are: Learn more about the conditions of the Erasmus+ and ESC programmes and about actions and types of projects in which we have little or no experience. Improve our competences for planning and coordination projects at European level, in order to have partners with adequate competences and a universal understanding of programme conditions and project planning and implementation processes. To address the issue of the involvement of all partners during all project phases and to improve this fundamental aspect for the achievement of the results of any project. Improve our competences as youth workers, at the same time developing the working capacities of our organizations, with the aim to expand and improve the activities we carry out with and for young people and to be able to support them in the development of their own initiatives (including through the ESC’s Solidarity Projects). Train youth workers who are newcomers to the organisation of projects within the framework of Erasmus+ and ESC programmes. Learn from more experienced partners, share good practices, but also take advantage of the new vision and ideas that beginners in E+/ESC programmes or in some of their actions might have. Increase our capacities for international cooperation and create new projects and a new collaboration network. Start collaborations with entities from neighbouring countries or EU countries with which we have not worked so far in order to increase our capacities to carry out projects that promote intercultural dialogue, solidarity between countries and European values. Start developing concrete projects to learn how to develop common projects in a practical way, working in teams, improving our abilities of creating and sharing ideas and turning them into common projects. The final objective, in the mid-term perspective, is to present the projects created during the course and to carry them out by putting into practice the new competences acquired in this training.
