Description:
The focus will be placed on analysing the needs of project coordinators at the application stage including the full understanding of the main priorities in the Erasmus+, the development of a quality framework, as well as on elaborating proposals to improve the quality of project implementation. In addition, the course targets the different aspects of the coordinators’ and mentors’ daily activity in providing the necessary support ranging from support for learning purposes to social inclusion and integration. Ample time for the sharing of knowledge, good practices and experiences will also be provided.
