,,Project Craft: From Needs to European Partnerships” is a training course for youth workers, youth leaders, trainers, project coordinators, NGO representatives and people involved in project development who want to improve how they design international youth projects.

The project focuses on turning real youth needs into strong Erasmus+ Cooperation Partnership ideas, especially KA210-YOU and KA220-YOU projects. Participants will work on needs analysis, project logic, partnership building, activity design, impact, dissemination, sustainability and application writing.

Through non-formal education, simulations, peer learning, mentoring, proposal-writing labs and project clinics, participants will develop practical project concepts and clarify partner roles for future cooperation. The training also explores how to include Erasmus+ priorities such as inclusion, digital transformation, green practices and youth participation in project design.

Participants are expected to bring their organisation profile, previous project examples or a real youth work challenge they would like to develop into a future Erasmus+ proposal.

Age of participants: 18+

Accommodation and meals are provided, and travel costs are reimbursed according to Erasmus+ rules as described in the infopack.
