European Erasmus+: Youth in Action Projects 2017/2018
22 September 2017 – 30 June 2018 | Netherlands, Poland, Germany
The major aim of this training course is to train trainers who have the competences and the motivation to contribute to the improvement of the quality of projects within the Erasmus+: Youth in Action Programme of the European Union.
This Training of Trainers (ToT) lasts a year and consists of :

- ongoing e-learning
- ongoing mentoring with one of the course trainers as your mentor
- learning commitments
The dates for the three residential seminars are:

- 2nd seminar 19 -28 January 2018 in Poland.
- 3rd seminar 23-30 June 2018 in Germany.
This course requires a considerable time investment from the participants: in total you should plan at least 55 days:
- 28 seminar days (including travel)
- 12 days overall for the training project (preparatory work, prep meeting and the course itself)
- 15 days (on average 1-2 days per month) for following the personal learning commitments, the online work, peer learning, mentor talks etc.
Within this ToT-course participants have the chance to further develop their competences as a trainer.

- Intercultural competence.
Participants are expected
- To have been already involved at least three times in a team of trainers designing, implementing and evaluating a training course in the framework of Non-Formal Education.
