ERASMUS+ what's the fuss

Your tasks and responsibilities within the team

I was one of the two facilitators. In co-operation with the 3 named NAs, we proposed an agenda and a plan for preparation and follow-up, and we were in charge if implementing and facilitating it.

I worked on this training for 5 days as a full time trainer.
