04-11/2018 - Training Course | What Could Go Wrong (Βουλγαρία)

Organising an international youth project is not an easy task: finding international reliable partners, making agreements, assessing participants’ real needs and involving them in all stages of the project are challenging processes even for experienced project managers.

Over the years National Agencies and trainers in the field have identified common mistakes when organising a Erasmus+:YiA project. This TC was developed to help new comers understand the easy-to-make flops and the pit-falls of project management and to creatively discover alternatives and practices that facilitate cooperation and promote the project quality. Furthermore - looking a bit beyond the project management process - E+: YiA projects are all about learning, and mistakes play a role there as well: not as something to be avoided, but as an opportunity to learn from.

In this training course we will look for the mistakes to make and those to avoid, we will celebrate failure and discover creative tools to find safer paths for success.

Main aim:

The training aims to help new Erasmus+ beneficiaries (Youth workers, youth leaders and project managers) to identify the most common mistakes when organizing E+ Youth projects and look at ways to prevent these mistakes with alternative solutions for when they occur.

Aims & objectives:

· To identify the most common mistakes in E+ projects during preparation, implementation and follow-up phases;
· To find the practices that prevent difficult situations in E+ projects and increase the chances of obtaining good results;
· To acknowledge that mistakes are part of the natural learning cycle and we can learn from them at personal level;
· To discover strategies and management techniques to deal constructively with mistakes in a youth project at organizational level;

Profile of Participants:

· Youth workers, youth leaders or project managers who are engaged with youth organisations and are beginners in using the E+ program but have been involved in organising at least one project (in any organisational role: facilitating, organising, writing application, support participants, etc).
· Planning to organise an E+ in the near future (the program includes support for this new project).
· Motivated to work on the topic of learning from mistakes.
· Available to take active part in the training course dates + extended learning activities (see above).

Being selected for this course, all costs (accommodation, travel, visa, etc.) relevant to participation in the course will be covered by the NAs involved in this project - except a participation fee which varies from call to call and country to country.

This training activity is funded by: The Erasmus+ Youth in Action Programme.
