Split – Developing SMART Erasmus+ Projects: From Concept to Proposal

COURSE DESCRIPTION

Turn your educational ideas into tangible Erasmus+ projects

Teachers and school staff who are eager to innovate and create meaningful impact in education often have wonderful ideas — but many are unsure how to turn them into real, fundable Erasmus+ projects. This course in the UNESCO-listed city of Split, Croatia, helps you transform those ideas into structured, strategic, and achievable Erasmus+ initiatives.

The 2021–2027 Erasmus+ programme offers exceptional possibilities for schools and institutions. With the right knowledge, you can access these opportunities confidently and successfully. Throughout this training, you will discover how to navigate both Key Action 1 and Key Action 2, understand their logic, and learn what makes a project strong, relevant, and fundable.

Master the Essentials of Erasmus Project Management

By the end of the course, you will feel completely at ease when dealing with Erasmus+ projects — even if you started with zero experience. We guide you through every stage: from designing a project idea, planning activities, and coordinating partners, to budgeting, monitoring progress, evaluating outcomes, and ensuring long-term impact.

You will learn how to design projects using SMART methodology and SWOT analysis, and work with evaluation models based on the internationally recognized OECD DAC / EvalNet criteria. Topics such as financing, budgeting, timesheets, dissemination strategies, and collaboration with National Agencies are explained clearly and with real examples.

In addition, you will receive practical templates, examples of successful projects, and hands-on guidance on filling out Erasmus+ applications. You’ll also learn how to navigate the Beneficiary Module (formerly Mobility Tool) and prepare high-quality interim and final reports that lead to project approval.

Your project ideas will naturally incorporate top EU priorities including inclusion, digital transformation, sustainability, and active citizenship, ensuring they fit within current European frameworks.

Join a Strong Erasmus+ Network and Find the Right Partners

What truly sets this course apart is the environment in which it is delivered. Erasmus+ Courses Croatia is one of the most connected training providers in Europe, with thousands of teachers and institutions in its network. Your trainer has years of experience managing both KA1 and KA2 projects as coordinator and partner, and will guide you with insights you won’t find in manuals.

You’ll expand your professional network, meet teachers from all across Europe, and discover potential project partners for future cooperation. During the course, you’ll even start developing an idea for your next Erasmus+ project with the support of the trainer and fellow participants.

By the end, you will feel prepared and motivated to design, apply for, and run Erasmus+ KA1 and KA2 projects with confidence — and to turn your ideas into positive change for your school and community.
