Description

The workshop is open to School teachers, VET trainers and Adults’ and Youth educators.   This is the 1st blended training on EU proposal writing in Europe with an intensive preparatory phase and actual proposal writing. The course is hands-on and practical: participants will contribute to developing a project proposal within the frame of the Small-Scale cooperation Partnerships, which is the first step to learn how to write an EU funded project. Participants will acquire theoretical knowledge, as well as carry out practical work, gaining valuable experience in project proposals, and will constantly receive support from expert mentors and tutors. Divided into smaller groups, they will complete different tasks related to planning and writing a project proposal. During the training, different tools will be made available by the organizers: examples of successful proposals; work plan for the submission processproject concept note template; detailed work plan template and GANTT; internal detailed budget template; an online collaboration platform for group work (e.g. Basecamp), etc. The course is also an excellent networking opportunity for participants who want to establish potential partnerships for future applications.
