TEP Training for Youth Organisations
Since the needs of Youth Organisations differ from those of Higher Education Institutions, we offer training courses and customised support for organisations interested in setting up Transnational Erasmus+ Virtual Exchange Projects
This training programme provides participants with an introduction to Virtual Exchange and Transnational Erasmus+ Virtual Exchange Projects through a project based learning approach.
- Programme Length: 6 weeks
- Number of Participants: max. 100
- Target Audience: Youth workers and non formal educators.
Over 6 weeks participants engage in some of the activities that characterise this type of project such as asynchronous discussions and synchronous facilitated video sessions while learning about what it takes to implement a successful project. The training requires no previous experience with Virtual Exchange but all trainees should be youth workers with the intention of writing a Transnational Exchange Projec and creating a partnership with other organisations.
