Calls for an information seminar on opportunities for youth projects IN THE EU Erasmus + programme, in 2014 and the completion of e-forms
Youth International Programme Agency (JSPA) invites young people, representatives of youth and various other organisations working with young people and other persons involved in youth work to participate in a seminar on the European Union (EU) programme “Erasmus +”, the youth information network Eurodesk, JSPA updates in 2014 and completion of project application forms or e-forms. The seminar will be held on 03 February 2014 at 11:00 - 15:00 at the hotel “Maritim Park Hotel Riga” (Slokas street 1, Riga).
First part of the seminar general information will be provided on the possibilities of building youth projects IN THE EU Erasmus + and JSPA Actions in 2014. Both experienced project promoters and those who have never developed informal education projects in the youth field are invited.
In the second part the separate working groups will show how to fill in the Erasmus + project e-forms in the following project types: youth exchange projects, European volunteering, youth training and networking activities, strategic partnerships in the youth field (including international youth initiatives) and meetings of youth and youth policy makers. All stakeholders, including experienced project promoters, are invited to this part. Everyone will have the opportunity to ask questions for project coordinators. Because each type of project will be told in separate working groups, we invite several representatives from one organization if you want to learn about filling e-forms in different types of projects.
A seminar is invited to apply for all stakeholders – young people, representatives of non-governmental organisations, various types of organisations (including enterprises, foundations) from various fields, pupils, students, teachers, social workers, local government and public institutions – anyone who has close contact with young people, interest and motivation to act in non-formal education.
The seminar is free! To apply for a seminar, you must fill in the application form electronically in a link http://ej.uz/9e6o up to 30 January 2014 at 12:00.
Information activities on Erasmus + youth projects will also take place in the regions of Latvia. More details available www.jaunatne.gov.lv
Additional information:
Erasmus + is THE EU's new education, training, youth and sport programme (2014-2020) to strengthen education, training, youth activities and sport in Europe. Erasmus + is launched at a time when almost six million young people are unemployed IN THE EU and where youth unemployment exceeds 50 % in some countries.
In the Erasmus + programme, organisations and businesses have the opportunity to form non-formal education youth projects and to apply for funding in the youth international programme agency in the following types of projects: mobility projects, strategic partnership projects in the youth field and support for youth policy reform projects. In 2014, youth projects in the Erasmus + programme can be presented 3 times a year.
The Ministry of Education and Science is the responsible Ministry for the implementation of the programme in Latvia, while the State Education Development Agency and the youth international programme agency will ensure implementation of the programme.
