An Erasmus+ Training Course is an international educational opportunity designed for youth workers, educators, and young leaders who want to expand their skills, learn innovative practices, and network with peers from across Europe. These training courses typically last between 2 and 10 days and take place in different European countries, providing an enriching cross-cultural learning environment.
Participants engage in non-formal learning methods, such as interactive workshops, role-playing, collaborative group work, and real-life case studies, making the learning process dynamic and practical. Topics covered vary widely, including leadership skills, social inclusion, digital literacy, mental health, environmental sustainability, and more. The courses aim to equip participants with the tools and knowledge to make a positive impact in their communities and organizations.
Funded by Erasmus+, these training courses are often accessible at low or no cost, encouraging diverse participation. They also foster a valuable exchange of ideas and best practices among participants from different backgrounds and professional experiences.
