Methodology
Using the Project Cycle Management approach, the course will combine theoretical insights, studies of successful projects and sessions devoted to project formulation.
From a theoretical point of view, participants will explore the context of European project design, identifying the main policies underlying the Erasmus+ Programme, as well as its objectives and budget. The actors involved and their role in project implementation will be presented. Key tools (EU login, OID, Application form) will be examined so that participants learn to navigate independently through the technical and administrative requirements for participation in the programme. The different Key Actions will be analysed in detail, with a focus on Small Scale Partnerships, which aim to reach grassroots organisations, new programme participants and less experienced organisations, with a view to reducing barriers to programme access for organisations with less organisational capacity.
The exercise phase will enable participants to transform an idea into a solid project concept, based on a thorough needs analysis and equally relevant partnership building. Participants will be guided through the exploration and compilation of a concrete project form, and will gain an overview of the project implementation phases, including the management of activities, resources and financial reporting.
