Jan 20, 2017 | News

In January 2017 MIO-ECSDE/MEdIES launches a series of week-long ESD targeted trainings for formal and non formal educators from European countries and beyond!

These training courses, that run on set dates all around the year are eligible to be 100% funded by the Erasmus+ programme (including travel, subsistence and tuition fee), under Key Action 1 (KA1 – mobility projects). Find a date that suits you and grab the opportunity to get full funding to attend one of the following sessions and mind that for Erasmus+ there is only one deadline per year: the 2017 deadline is 02/02/2017! If you miss it you will need to wait until the 2018, or raise funds from other sources to support your participation.

  1. Train-the-trainer course on the Educational Pack “Know, Feel, Act! to Stop Marine Litter”
  2. Using Non-Conventional Water Resources Management for applying Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) in formal and non formal education

Who can get the Erasmus+ funding?

Schools, vocational and adult education organisations, as well as NGOs, museums etc. are all eligible to receive full funding to attend this course under a KA1 mobility grant, provided they have a PIC code.
Check with your Erasmus+ National Agency to verify if your institution is eligible as sending organisation under KA1.

Alternatively you can raisefunds yourself to support your participation (e.g your home institution, a donor, scholarship, etc). The estimated total participation cost, depending on your country ranges between 1000 – 1500 Euro.
