Aims & objectives

How can we include "learning" during the whole project: preparation, application procedure, development and evaluation process? Is already “Learning” a key part of our projects? …for all the people involved in it?also for the team involved in the project?

iLOOP 2, was the second edition of a successful TC where Youth workers, Youth leaders and Project coordinators worked together towards following aims and objectives.

MAIN AIMS:

Including "learning" during the whole project: preparation, application procedure, development and evaluation process. Learning as a key part of our projects for all the people involved in it, from the target group until the team involved in the project.

Specific objectives:
a) Improving the quality of the Erasmus + projects including “learning” in the whole project cycle.
b) Increasing the awareness of the youth workers and coordinators about their role as learning reflection processes supporters.

Target group & international/intercultural composition of the group & team

This Training Course was for 24 participants
from Erasmus+ Youth in Action Programme countries: Spain, Italy, Bulgaria, Belgium, Croatia, Austria, Netherland, Poland, Germany, Romania, Slovenia, Hungary, UK, France

Training methods used & main activities

We created a space to learn and share about analysing our previous project experiences. We created a learning environment in which we could practice and test the best way to include learning in every part of the project cycle. We worked in possible real projects of the participants.

We also analysed the personal learning processes during the training course and tried to create methods to implement in the local organisations, and teams.
