Step into Strategic Partnerships on Inclusion within Erasmus+ YOUTH IN ACTION

Strategic Partnership projects provide opportunities for sustainable international cooperation and innovation in the youth field within Erasmus+: Youth in Action. These projects have a lot of potential for the development of innovative ideas and concepts of wider relevance for the youth field in Europe. For that, Strategic Partnerships also offer a huge potential when it comes to the topic of inclusion.

We are looking for participants who:

•  are willing to develop or exchange good practices of working with youth on the international level
• so far have not implemented a Strategic Partnership under Key Action 2 within the Erasmus+: Youth in Action programme
• have a specific idea and willingness to develop and implement Strategic Partnership projects.

Throughout the 5 day course, you will have opportunities to: 

• Explore essential aspects about Strategic Partnership projects being part of the Key Action 2 of Erasmus+: Youth in Action programme
• Understand quality requirements for Strategic Partnerships
• Get to know examples of such projects
• Link the needs of the inclusion field with the opportunities of Strategic Partnerships
