Call for participants: Youth Projects LAB - Erasmus+ training course

Training course about Erasmus+/ESC and planning future projects with other European partners.

Dates: 10-17 September 2021
Venue: Toledo, Spain

This is an URGENT CALL FOR PARTICIPANTS, not for partner organisations. We already have the partner organisations. Due to postponing the course various times because of the Covid situation, some of the partners are not able send all the participants needed from their organisation.

Currently we are looking for 1 participant from Estonia. We are looking for someone that is involved in an organisation active in the youth field in Estonia and interested in learning and developing projects with other European partners in the frames of Erasmus+ Youth and European Solidarity Coprs.

The idea behind this project.
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. 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 specific objectives of this 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.
● Address the issue of the involvement of all partners during all project phases and 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.
● 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 might have.
● Increase our capacities for international cooperation and create new projects and a new collaboration network.
● Start collaborations with organisations 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 common projects to learn how to develop them in a practical and collaborative way, working in teams, improving our abilities of creating and sharing ideas and turning them into common actions.
● The final objective, in the mid-term perspective, is to apply the projects created during the course and to carry them out by putting into practice the new competences acquired in this training.
