The Partner-Finding Tool
Tree activities to build reliable partnership and work on ideas for new international projects in the field of non-formal citizenship education
The Project Idea is to bring together representatives of organisations, working in the field of non-formal citizenship education in different European and neighbouring countries, who are open for new partnerships to work on new Erasmus+ projects (in the field of Youth) and to provide them opportunities to get to know each other's work and to design new project ideas.
The project aims at building partnership(s) of such organisations to widen their networks, to increase their capacity to organise international projects, to share ideas and practices, to learn and reflect approaches and methodology and to strengthen sustainability and promote recognition of the partners´ activity.
We would like to ensure success and sustainability of new partnerships and the network, that´s why we suggest not to limit ourselves with short contact making seminar, but meet three times, slowly learn each other´s work, approaches, methodologies, priorities etc. from different perspectives and by using variety of methods as well as take time to go through the core points of project management in order to design ideas for new exchanges well.
As a result we expect to get some new partnership with concrete ideas for new Erasmus+ projects as well as established network between all the partners, that can be used for further cooperation and projects. SOLIDARUS (the applicant organisation) is ready to support this network and – if needed – the certain partnerships (including consultations on all stages of project design and implementation and being an applicant organisation for German NA for that project ideas).
