Need more ideas on how the training course works? Check Ajanta’s experience in Croatia – this project, which focused on theatre games and creativity to enrich activities in non-formal education, participants created games for various age groups. Still, most importantly, they understood problem-solving strategies and post-game reflections to understand strengths and weaknesses. However, the projects can be about multiple topics: sustainability, theater, creativity, methods of non-formal education, entrepreneurship, facilitation, partnership building, project writing, diversity, stress management, and social inclusion.

VOCABULARY OF ERASMUS+ PROJECTS

When everyone is speaking in their native language and you are unable to participate or enter the discussion, immediately think of ‘Bora Bora’ rule. Call ‘Bora Bora’ to make yourself feel integrated into the group and everyone will explain to you in English what they are talking about.

It includes the safe, critical and responsible use of digital technologies and their use for learning, work and participation in society. At the same time, it emphasises information and data literacy, media literacy through digital content creation (including programming), security (including digital well-being and all cybersecurity skills), intellectual property issues, problem solving and critical thinking.

During Erasmus+ projects, energizers are activities to energise participants before the main event. This lively energizer gets people energized through fast-paced games and extravagant dancing!
A formula that breaks the ice and ignites enthusiasm: this is why Erasmus+ projects turn into dynamic experiences where connections between young people flourish!

In every youth exchange or training course you will meet people from different countries, cultures and backgrounds.
But those people, after the Erasmus+ project period, can sometimes become your closest friends even kilometres away and sometimes your world.

The dissemination process of each project usually starts with the national groups telling their friends and acquaintances about the project. In addition, follow-up activities held at the end of projects are a great and important opportunity to reinforce and enhance participants’ experiences and deepen learning.

Green skills are nowadays key competences towards a low-carbon transition, which can be general such as sustainable agriculture, soil protection, energy use and waste reduction or more technical such as knowledge of renewable energy.

Each participant in Erasmus+ projects can use low-emission means of transport for most of the journey such as buses or trains

In all youth mobility projects (especially Youth Exchanges), a group leader is an adult of at least 18 years of age who joins the young participants of the Youth Exchange in order to ensure their effective learning (Youthpass), protection and safety.

This type of learning is derived from everyday activities and experiences that are not organised or structured in terms of objectives, time or learning support.

It is a simple way of saying ‘shut up’ or ‘silence’ when there is noise among the group and they want to restore calm within. The first word shouted is “Marco!!!” to attract attention and ensure silence, everyone who hears it responds with “Polo!” and so on until silence is restored.

This is a type of learning that takes place through planned learning activities in which some form of learning support is present but which is not part of the formal education and training system.

A partner organisation is an organisation formally involved in the project (co-beneficiaries) but it doesn’t take the role of coordinator.

A individual who is fully involved in a project and it may receive European Union funding to cover the costs of participation (especially travel and subsistence).

A person with fewer opportunities is defined as a person who, for economic, social, cultural, geographical or health reasons, or because of a migratory background, or for reasons such as disability or educational difficulties, including those which may give rise to discrimination within the meaning of Article 21 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, faces obstacles which prevent him/her from having effective access to all opportunities made available by the Erasmus+ programme.

It may be an organisation or an informal group of young people involved in an Erasmus+ project as coordinator or partner.

A partner organisation is an organisation formally involved in the project (co-beneficiaries) but it doesn’t take the role of coordinator.

Before each Youth Exchange and Training Course, it is essential to carry out a APV: this consists of a visit to the country of the receiving organisation before the start of the mobility activities in order to prepare and ensure a high quality of the activities. Examples include facilitating administrative arrangements and building trust and understanding between the organisations involved.

In Erasmus+ projects, the ‘secret friend’ activity is organised to encourage participants to build interpersonal relationships with each other. In this activity, a ‘secret friend’ is identified among the project participants and each participant secretly becomes a ‘secret friend’ of another participant and sends him/her gifts, cards or surprise gestures during the project period.
This activity allows participants to establish closer relations with each other, increasing their participation in the project and getting to know each other better. At the same time, this activity helps to strengthen social ties between participants and is widely used in Erasmus+ projects to reinforce group dynamics by encouraging their participation in the project.

In all Erasmus+ programmes, young people are people between the ages of 13 and 30.

It is the European tool to improve the recognition of the learning outcomes of young people and youth workers resulting from their participation in Erasmus+ projects. Youthpass consists of certificates attesting participation in different actions of the Programme and a defined process that supports young people, youth workers and youth organisations to reflect on the learning outcomes of an Erasmus+ project in the field of youth and non-formal learning. For this reason, Youthpass is part of a broader strategy of the European Commission to improve the recognition of non-formal and informal learning in youth work in Europe.

A youth Worker is a professional or volunteer who is
involved in non-formal learning by supporting young people in their personal,
socio-educational and professional development.
