Participants from any Erasmus+ Programme country residing in Lithuania, Poland and Italy: Youth workers experienced in managing Erasmus+ projects, specifically motivated to build partnerships with Belarusian counterparts.

Using an engaging maritime learning metaphor, this project functions as a practical "Co-creation Lab". Participants will dive into high-quality non-formal learning methods (such as the Sailing Simulation and Sea of Stories workshops) to build concrete skills in Erasmus+ project design, partnership management, budgeting, and proposal writing.
