Odyssey for a great event! – Erasmus+ training course
Learn how to organize impactful events and projects that inspire communities and drive meaningful change! Join us in Ivančice, Czechia, from March 7 to March 14, 2025, for an unforgettable international training experience.
What is Erasmus+ training course and who is it for
Erasmus+ is an EU educational program that, among other things, funds several-day international non-formal education training sessions for youth workers. These trainings provide participants with opportunities to learn new methods for working with children and young people, share best practices, exchange ideas about how things work in other countries or organizations, and plan future collaborations. Participants have their travel expenses reimbursed and receive free accommodation and meals. You can find more general information about this type of project here.
This training is designed for anyone whose (future) profession is connected to working with children and young people. It is suitable for educators (formal or non-formal), youth workers, volunteers in education, scouts, active students, or young people involved in their community, among others.
Odyssey for a great event!
The project aims to support participants in organizing local events with educational elements that engage and benefit the public. By focusing on youth work, the project empowers individuals who want to implement social events, educational activities, and initiatives in volunteering or active citizenship. Participants will gain insights into tailoring events to specific audiences, managing logistics, promoting activities effectively, and recruiting volunteers. The goal is to help youth workers improve the quality and impact of their work by providing them with tools for planning, executing, and evaluating events.
