Course Description

Turn Your Educational Ideas into Concrete Erasmus+ Projects

That place is the KA1 training course “From Concept to SMART Erasmus+ Project” held in Split, Croatia — a UNESCO World Heritage city with a vibrant learning atmosphere.

No prior experience is required — beginners are fully welcome.

You will gain practical knowledge in designing (using SMART criteria and SWOT analysis), planning, implementing, disseminating, monitoring, and evaluating projects following the internationally recognised OECD DAC / EvalNet standards. You will also learn about budgeting, financial rules, collaboration with partners, reporting obligations, and working effectively with National Agencies. By the end, you will understand what makes a strong project coordinator and a reliable partner.

Our trainer will provide actionable advice for completing Erasmus+ forms, navigating the Beneficiary Module (previously Mobility Tool), preparing strategic documentation, and using ready-made templates and real examples. You will also practise producing interim and final reports that meet programme requirements.

Your project design will be closely connected to key EU priorities such as inclusion, sustainability, digital transformation, and active citizenship — making your proposals both relevant and competitive.
