Le cours suivi était centré sur l'obtention de l'accréditation Erasmus + par un établissement scolaire. Nous avons vu les différentes possibilités offertes par le programme, les différentes parties de l'accréditation et des outils annexes (eTwinning, Europass, etc.) Le formateur a une longue expérience d'Erasmus et connaît bien les ficelles du programme. Lors de ce cours, nous avons déjà pu commencer à rédiger notre accréditation et nous avons reçu des conseils pour l'améliorer.

The Erasmus+ Project management course aimed at creating and writing up a successful accreditation proposal. As well as the successful manangement of an accreditation. We also dealt with planning future proposals and the creation of a common KA2 project. It was an invaluable experience for me as the co-ordinator of the Erasmus + projects at my school. I was able to get insight on how to manage the budget and ask pertinent questions about the management of projects.. It also enabled me to get a better understanding of the Erasmus + / European values and the importance of creating networks with other establishments in the EU.I obtained more knowledge of the new Erasmus + platforms namely , Myerasmusproject and the fusion of E-twinning and School Education Gateway and how to optimise my navigation of it.It was also an excellent opportunity to meet other Erasmus + mobility participants and discover the cultural heritage of Alicante, Spain.The course provider had a broad knowledge of Erasmus+ practices and was able to answer all my questions concerning the management of projects and budget. I completed the course with a feeling of satisfaction and confidence in managing future Erasmus + projects.

The course I have attended was really well organized. There were many different activities. For me the best activity was visiting the school in a city near Alicante where I saw different education methods based on students' age and many new types of didactical materials. Cultural activities were differently structured and we could choose whether to participate in them. Before, during and after course the communication with the course provider was really good and transparent.

Ich habe am Fortbildungskurs „Erasmus Plus Project Management & Educational Visit“ teilgenommen. Ich habe nur positive Erfahrung mit dem Kursanbieter bzw. dem Kurs gemacht. In dieser Fortbildung wurden verschiedene Erasmus+ Programme vorgestellt. Ebenso ging der Veranstalter auf die European Erasmus+ Platforms wie z.B. school education gateaway und eTwinning ein. Er stellte das Verwaltungssystem mobililty tool vor und gab zahlreiche Empfehlungen und Tipps. Er informierte darüber, welche zusätzlichen Zertifikate für TeilnehmerInnen genutzt werden können z.B. Europass und Europass-CV. Hauptsächlich ging es darum, was die neue Akkreditierung ist und wie eine Schule erfolgreich eine Akkreditierung schreibt. Hierbei wurden Präsentationen von Schulen gezeigt, die bereits eine Akkreditierung besitzen und praxisnahe Beispiele präsentiert. Auch wurden Kriterien thematisiert. An einem Tag erhielten wir Besuch von 2 Französischlehrerinnen, die uns das französische Schulsystem vorgestellt haben.

Tečaj koji sam pohađala zove se Erasmus Plus Management and Educational Visit. Na tečaju smo kroz šest dana obradili sljedeće teme: SWOT analiza i zašto je ona važna prije pisanja projekta, svaki korak u pisanju KA1 i KA2 projekata, također projektna pravila, obaveze i zadatke kao i pisanje završnog izvješća u Mobility tool-u. Objašnjen nam je novi okvir Erasmus+ projekata od 2021-2027. godine. Educirali smo se o mogućnostima apliciranja za Erasmus aplikaciju te o mogućim platformama za diseminaciju. Kao dio tečaja organiziran nam je posjet školi koja je vrlo iskusna u provođenju Erasmus+ projekata te ima Erasmus+ akreditaciju gdje smo saznali na koji način oni provode projekte i razmjenili kontakte za moguće buduće suradnje. Imali smo vremena međusobno se povezati te planirati buduće zajedničke projekte kao i job shadowing aktivnosti. Osim formalnog dijela kao dio tečaja imali smo aktivnosti vezane uz upoznavanje kulture Alicante-a. Uz izvrsnu turističku vodičku upoznali smo grad, otok Tabarca, arheološki muzej i utvrdu Santa Barbara. Tečaj je imao izvrstan omjer formalnog dijela i kulturnih aktivnosti. Voditelj tečaja je vrlo iskusan u pisanju, provedbi i ocijenjivanju Erasmus+ projekata te je bilo vrlo ugodno i edukativno raditi s njim. Komunikacija prije tečaja, za vrijeme i nakon je bila izvrsna.
