Mastering Erasmus+ KA2 Project Writings

Description

Concept by David Baroni

European Projects – and, in particular, the Erasmus+ Programme – represents a significant opportunity for schools from EU member countries to improve and keep pace with innovation. They generate organizational and personal development as they create opportunities to share best practices, create new methods, grow a network, and transform your school’s weaknesses into strengths and opportunities.

However, gaining access to EU funding requires the possession of a full package of skills and knowledge, and can be highly challenging -especially for schools at their first experience in writing a proposal.

The main objective of this course is to equip you with such practical expertise. The course will thus prepare you at the best for planning and writing successful European Projects (KA1 and KA2, including the Accreditation) within the Erasmus+ Programme (2021-2027).

As a participant, you will discover the Erasmus+ priorities and the many opportunities offered to educational institutions by the Programme. You will learn how to evaluate and communicate the needs of your school (or organization), and how to write a coherent European Development Plan for it.

You will become familiar with the different funding schemes to finance different project ideas and with the success award criteria followed by evaluators in assessing project proposals.

Moreover, you will receive training on how to structure a clear project proposal that fully respects those criteria, follows the project life cycle, and will maximize its chances of reaching high points at evaluation.

The course will have a hands-on approach. The trainer will guide the participants through a step-by-step path to make sure they draft a proposal on a project of their interest at the same time they gain a deeper understanding of project design.

Thus, by the end of the course, you will have already achieved a first significant accomplishment – i.e., you will have a structured draft of a project of your choice, already reviewed by the trainer and discussed with the other participants – while having acquired all the necessary competencies to start planning at best the future of your school.

Reviews about this course

Luis Pedro Silvafrom Portugal
5 stars

This course is well designed, interesting for those who will start the process of preparing applications and also, for those who already do. I really liked the introduction of new priorities in the provision of the course, particularly in the field of internationalization, European identity, and sustainability; the sharing of experiences: the opportunity to get to know the local and regional culture and history of Tuscany.

Ana Paula Tavaresfrom Portugal
5 stars

This course is very important to create and design good applications and increase the likelihood of being accepted. I improved my language skills, and we shared a lot of experiences. It was an opportunity to get to know the various cities, their cultures, and their local history.
