Write a Project, Make a Change!

This Training Course is dedicated to youth workers and NGO members who want to develop their project writing competences.

The project will be very practical and we will work on KA1 E+ application form, in international teams. We are looking both for people with some experience in writing application forms, but also for beginners in E+ project writing.

Our project objectives are:

1. Improve participant’s competences in writing E+ projects by being able to create SMART objectives, timetable and dissemination activities for their future projects.

2. Developing participant’s skills on how to understand target groups needs, developing a management plan and creating a positive impact in the community with E+ projects.

3. Improve participants’ attitude towards writing projects- they will feel more confident in their skills and they will be more motivated to produce change.

4. Encouraging new partnerships between the organizations that the participants represent.

This project is mainly addressed to:

• Youth workers that are currently working with young people
• Trainers that want to start writing projects
• Volunteers in non-profit organizations that want to become project writers
• People that participated in E+ projects and they want to start writing their own projects
• Members of informal groups
• People that want to open their own NGO and start writing projects

* You don’t have to represent one of the partner organizations, we are open to youth workers from any of the countries mentioned in this call.

Age limit: over 18

Project activities:
