Events

The main goal of the event is to develop new ideas and to find partners for possible future cooperation projects with a focus on providing support for refugees and local communities.

The contact seminar will respond to the European Commission note to NAs regarding the exceptional measures in relation to the war in Ukraine that encourages NAs to raise awareness, prepare and accompany e.g., potential applicants and beneficiaries, youth workers, trainers, young people, volunteers etc. to support refugees and local communities in Erasmus+ activities.     

The objectives of the event:

• To facilitate development of dedicated initiatives in KA2 projects focusing on response to the effects of the war in Ukraine and to contribute to assistance to persons displaced by the war.

• To provide support to organisations (schools, VET providers, educational authorities) working directly with the main target group.

• Bring together potential partners from different countries with a common goal to implement future KA2 projects supporting refugees and local communities

• To facilitate exchange of experience and sharing of resources

• To facilitate in-depth understanding of KA2 projects and their qualitative implementation.

• Discuss challenges related to the topic and establish future cooperation.
