Training Course
3-7 June 2024 | Sofia, Bulgaria
Target group:
Appetiser aims at youth leaders and youth workers working actively at the local and/or national level willing to take their activities international. Appetiser is mainly addressed to newcomers, who do not have yet international youth work experience. It is preferred, but not necessary, that participants
should come from an organisation that is newcomer to European mobility programmes. It can also be possible that an organisation, which is already implementing international activities, can send a representative who does not have yet international youth work experience.
Thus, important criteria for participation to this training course are:
● Participants should have some experience in developing youth activities in
local/national level;
● Participants should not have participated in other network trainings and/or
in multiple international youth activities;
● Participants should be motivated and consider to broaden their
organisation‘s activities into international context;
● Participants have to be able to communicate in English and be at least 18
years old.
Aims and objectives :
To give a strong positive first experience of international youth work and motivate participants to use the Erasmus+ Youth and European Solidarity Corps/Volunteering Programmes. This aim summarises the entire idea of the training – to give a feeling of what it means to work with young people in an international setting. Leaving all explanations and knowledge aside it is about giving a space for participants to explore the advantage of ‘internationality’ themselves.
Appetiser is designed to achieve the following objectives:
● To familiarise participants with non-formal and intercultural learning and have a concrete example of how this can be done.
● To enjoy their first intercultural youth project experience.
● To enable participants to share their local youth activities and related experience, within an international youth work context.
● To explore possibilities of support available for international youth activities offered by the Erasmus+ Youth and European Solidarity Corps Programmes.
● To analyse examples of good quality youth projects supported by the Erasmus+ Youth and the European Solidarity Corps Programmes.
● To better understand how to benefit from the international youth work context in participants' local practice.

Human Recourse Development Centre Bulgarian National Agency (National Agency)
For 25 years, the Human Resource Development Centre (HRDC) has been recognized as a successful national structure for managing European educational programmes. Since 1999, the HRDC is actively involved in the management and implementation of European educational programmes and initiatives. Gradually, the center emerged with its own recognizable image among the national educational community at all levels, not only as an administrator of EU funded programmes, but above all as a platform for exchange of innovative educational methods and good practices to address the challenges arising in the education and training system.
At the end of 2013, the programming and financial period of the European education and training Lifelong Learning Programme, managed by the Human Resource Development Centre as the Bulgarian National Agency, was completed. As recognition and continuation of the high results achieved by the programme, the new European Union programme for education, training, youth and sport “Erasmus+” started its activities as of 1 January 2014.
Together with the implementation of the sectoral programmes Comenius, Leonardo da Vinci, Erasmus, Grundtvig and Study visits under the Lifelong Learning Programme during the past period, the HRDC has systematically worked on horizontal strategic objectives such as ICT in education (eTwinning), the recognition and validation of skills (Europass and ECVET), the academic recognition and quality in the field of higher education (Bologna process), the development of a national system of career guidance (Euroguidance), practice-based system analyzes in education and training (Eurydice and ReferNet), language learning (European Language Label).
The Human Resource Development Centre is the Erasmus+ National Agency for Bulgaria implementing the Programme during the 2014-2020 period.
In the period 2018-2020 apart from Erasmus+, the Human Resources Development Center is the National Agency for Bulgaria of the European Solidarity Corps Program initiated by the EC in 2018.
For the period 2021 - 2027, HRDC has been nominated by the Ministry of Education and Culture and the European National Agency Commission under the new Erasmus+ Program and the European Solidarity Corps Program.
