🌍 Erasmus+ explained — the complete beginner's guide to Europe's largest youth programme.Millions of young people have taken part in Erasmus+ since its launch, but many still don't fully understand what the programme actually includes, who it's for, or how to get involved. This in-depth guide breaks down everything: the different types of mobility, funding opportunities, eligibility criteria, and what you can realistically expect from participating. If you've ever wondered whether Erasmus+ is right for you, this guide gives you all the answers in one place. 👉 https://youthworkshub.org/15096/
❗️What Is This Training About?
This project will teach you how to write and submit E+ KA1 projects (youth exchanges, training courses). You will learn about all stages of a project: from partner finding to dissemination.
🏘️ How Erasmus+ youth projects create lasting change in local communities. The impact of Erasmus+ goes far beyond the individuals who participate. Local communities, host organisations, and even entire neighbourhoods are shaped by the projects that take place within them. This article explores the broader social impact of Erasmus+ youth exchanges — from building intercultural understanding to empowering grassroots organisations — and makes a compelling case for why these projects matter beyond the personal level. 👉 https://youthworkshub.org/3595/
ℹ️ Description About The Opportunity
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

Age limit: over 18
