Civic Education

b.

Here we get into project management 1.0. An Erasmus+ project is never an activity that stands alone. It

needs to be part of the daily work of an

. It needs to contribute to the overall

aims and objectives of the organization. So, you wouldn’t do a youth exchange just for the sake of it but

rather

your young people connect or continue to take responsibility within

your organization.

The project should fit with other

or opens new doors but there should

always be a preparation stage and follow up locally!

c.

There needs to be learning planned into the project, making it educational. During all projects it is

important that there are moments where

have the time and the help to re -

flect on their learning and think about how this

can be useful to them.

d.

All Erasmus+ projects focus on their participants, which is as it should be. But when carrying out the

project it is also important to think about how the results and outcomes can be made

. You need to think about how the outcomes can be useful, educational,

and relevant to other people, organizations and contexts and how those organizations can

this information in their local contexts.

e.

Learning isn’t boring! People learn best when they understand the

of what

they are learning. By using the “learning by doing” approach and other participative non-formal learning

activities, we want people to

in their own learning. The cooperative approach

will hopefully help them to enjoy and take responsibility for their own learning and for that of others.

Innovative approaches can be part of different aspects of the project: learning about new things, learning

in new ways, working with people from

and backgrounds...
