Erasmus+ Cooperation Workshop, BRUXELLES - Tue. 11th - Wed. 12th September 2018

In Brussels a two days workshop on Erasmus+ calls

THE WORKSHOP
In order to support all art operators willing to design a cooperation project and submit the relevant application in occasion of future Erasmus+ calls, Open Street aisbl organizes a two-day workshop in Brussels on Tue. 11th and Wed. 12th September, aiming to understand all the theoretical and practical aspects of the Erasmus+ Calls - Cooperation Projects – in order to be ready in time for next submission deadline, fixed on 4th October 2018 for following actions:

Key Action 1 - Mobility of individuals in the field of youth
Key Action 2 - Strategic partnerships in the field of youth
Key Action 3 - Meeting between young people and decision-makers in the field of youth

Needless to say that the workshop is also useful for applications of subsequent calls, expected at the end of 2018/early 2019 and still to be announced.
