At this moment the new online application forms are not yet available. Below the form of 2017. It is
possible that there are small changes in the design of form 2018.

• Download the form from the website of your National Agency and read the instructions on the
website. You can find your Erasmus+ National Agency on the list of agencies:
http://ec.europa.eu/education/tools/national_agencies_en.htm
• Check if your school has a PIC code - or register for a PIC. Download PIC.doc
(https://erasmusplus.org.uk/file/704/download) and ECAS-user manual.pdf
(http://ec.europa.eu/programmes/erasmus-plus/documents/manualurf_en.pdf)
• Prepare your texts for the application in a word document before filling in the application form.
• Please, don’t copy&paste the text completely but adapt those parts that are important for the
questions in the European development plan and in the application.
• Be as precise and concrete as possible. Give evidence that this course is what your staff members
need and that the topics of the course address the needs of the school.
The added value of the Integrated curriculum! Teaching global skills through science & arts
• Course - will be immeasurably higher for the school if both teachers of humanistic, social and
scientific subjects participate; they will have the chance to experiment team teaching and methods of
how phenomena-based education could actually be organised collectively. The participation of the
school management is highly recommended, as they could observe the school performance from this
perspective in order to manage such courses in their schools.
C.1.3. Background and experience

11
C.1.2 Consortium

• If you apply on behalf of a consortium of schools, be sure that each school has a strong argumentation
and convincing evidence for its own demands.

C.1.3 Present your school

Please explain detailed your school has done so far to make its education more attractive and innovative
to meet today's key competences and how they could be taught to students. (Key Competence
Development in School Education in Europe, see http://ec.europa.eu/education/policy/school/teacher-
training_en.htm )

Mainly improving support for teachers, school leaders, and teacher educators, by setting framework
competences for teachers:shared representations of visions of practice, i.e. means for describing a
consensus model of what is most valued in teaching knowledge and practice;measuring tools for
professional judgement , i.e. tools for making judgements and decisions in the context of shared meanings
and values (Sykes and Plastrik, 1993), and/or instruments for providing specifications of levels of
achievement (Kleinhenz & Ingvarson, 2007).

For school management and administrators

• a ‘developmental’ approach, with loose definitions of competences indicative of performance,


stressing principles and codes of practice.

• highlight the professionalism / knowledge / skills that are unique to teachers;

• provide teachers with a clear image of their profession and its role in society, leading to enhanced
professional pride and social standing; and

• be a starting point to encourage teacher self-reflection, and therefore point teachers towards
possibilities for further professional development.

Please give information on the key staff/persons involved in this application and on the
competences and previous experience that they will bring to the project. Try to make clear
why the course is especially beneficial for both your school/institution and the person to be
sent to the course.

What are their competences?

22
Competences are defined in terms of outcomes rather than processes (see
http://ec.europa.eu/education/policy/school/doc/teachercomp_en.pdf). This would first of all imply a
student perspective view of the teachers’ competences and performance. Second, to have mindfulness or
better said a flexible mindset, which will assist with the above objectives regarding teachers competences.
Thirdly, the teacher should have a clear vision related to which competences are needed in practice and he
or she should be (self) responsibility for the actions needed to acquire and practice the competence.
Coaching skills are needed and will support teachers’ self-responsibility regarding their own progress and
performance(http://ec.europa.eu/education/policy/school/doc/teachercomp_en.pdf)

D. European Development Plan. What are the organisation's needs in terms of quality development
and innovation?

33
Please identify the main areas for improvement (for example management competences, staff
competences, new teaching methods or tools, studying and learning processes, curriculum, the
organisation of teaching and learning). For example, if the organisation's focus lies on STEM
subjects (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) the needs are specific.

Suggestions for answers.

Components of teacher competences often include the so-called KSAVE (knowledge, skills, attitudes,
values and ethics) model. The descriptors should:
 reflect the culture and context in which they will be used;
 be expressed in a way that promotes teacher agent qualification;
 be based on a culture of trust;
 motivate each teacher to grow as a professional;
 be of sufficient detail for the intended purpose;
 be dynamic, rather than too fixed (to ensure that they can be further developed in line with changing
circumstances);
 use language in which teachers can recognize themselves and their school reality, and that is as
concrete as possible, unambiguous, clear, simple, understandable by all users, consistent, empowering,
affirming and positive, action-oriented (e.g. can do -statements with examples of concrete applications to
teachers’ daily work).
( see http://ec.europa.eu/education/policy/school/doc/teachercomp_en.pdf)

According to European Commission, teachers’ competences regarding social context, multiculturalism


(including here multi-literacies) is one of the three main categories. According to ‘Common European
Principles for Teacher Competences and Qualifications’, produced by a working group of Member State
experts, there are three broad areas of competence:
• Working with others
• Working with knowledge, technology and information
• Working in and with society.

The last one particularly requires teachers to act as responsible professionals in local educational
communities and with different actors, and to promote the development of students as European citizens
with global responsibilities, encouraging dispositions and attitudes towards cooperation and mobility,
intercultural dialogue and respect (European Commission DG Education and Culture, 2005).

Within the framework, which is parallel to the EQF for Higher Education (Dublin Descriptors), teachers’
qualifications descriptors include highly specialized knowledge and critical awareness; specialized
problem-solving skills in research and innovation; competences in managing and transforming complex,
unpredictable contexts, as well as contributing to professional knowledge and practice, individually and
participating in/coordinating teamwork (European Communities, 2008). DeSeCo classifies three broad,
interconnected categories of competencies, underpinned by common values of democracy and
sustainability:
1. use tools interactively
1a. use language symbols and text interactively (communication, literacy, numeracy)
1b. use knowledge and information interactively (scientific literacy)
1c. use technology interactively
2. interact in heterogeneous groups
2a. relate well to others (empathy, emotional management)

44
2b. cooperate (present and listen to ideas; debate dynamics; build alliances; negotiate; consider
different opinions in decisions
2c. manage, resolve conflicts
3. act autonomously
3a. act within the big picture (understand system patterns, rules, expectations; identify consequences
of actions for action choices
3b. form and conduct life plans and personal projects
3c. assert rights, interests, limits, needs.(see OECD’s DeSeCo project (Rychen & Salganik, 2003-
similar instrument of PISA)

At the (WFATE) WORLD FEDERATION OF ASSOCIATIONS FOR TEACHER EDUCATION


(WFATE) Fourth Biennial International Conference, organised in 2016 in Barcelona,
multiculturalism (and multiliteracy) was the first topic on the agenda, together with social science
teachers for a new era and innovation in teacher education monitoring and change, out the 15 topics.

LANGUAGE TEACHERS:
Two international studies on the objectives and features of European Language Teacher Education, as
linked with teacher requirements, have been carried out by the University of Southampton for the
European Commission. They are directly connected to European policies about multilingualism and
multiculturalism, as interweaved with other key competences (e.g. entrepreneurship). (SEE Education
and Training 2020 Thematic Working Group ‘Professional Development of Teachers’ Literature
review Teachers’ core competences: requirements and development Author: Francesca Caena April
2011, page 6)

Finland has applied a new curriculum reform starting 2014 at all 3 policy levels- national, municipal and
school level (Open Method of Coordination) and this curriculum has started with pre-school ending with
upper secondary. Integrated curriculum and teaching global skills are at the heart of this reform.
Integrated curriculum is as objective in the national curriculum each municipality was free to choose the
methods on how to implement it and each school hence each teacher free to choose their own tools and
content. For global skills, in Finish schools emotional intelligence and drama in the class where
introduced as block subjects. Teachers get the opportunity to experience how such skills are put into
practice in schools and how teachers are assisted to get the competences and skills needed to teach
integrated curriculum and global skills to pupils. Finland promoted and guaranteed the multiculturalism
through bilingualism even in the remote past. The second reason why Finland is the place where to
acquire teachers’ competences to global skills and multiculturalism is the fact that the education system
has integrated students in mainstreaming public schools and classes for half a century. According to the
national law of education all children are entitled to education with no exception, that is, Finnish schools
were compelled to develop best practices to integrate all students including children with disabilities or
special needs in mainstreaming schools.
Integrated curriculum through tools like phenomena-based education, is implied in the 2014 curriculum
reform which was launched in 2016.It is at the core of the new educational reform in Finland, something
that put the educational agenda on the international spotlight. Therefore schools implement topic-based
courses not only subject-based courses in their teaching. Since 2016 schools reorganise their curriculum,
and this change is considered in development plans of schools. And, consequently, teachers have the
opportunity to develop skills related to phenomena-based education, to develop and implement such
processes in action (see National Finish National Curriculum at

55
https://webgate.ec.europa.eu/fpfis/mwikis/eurydice/index.php/Finland:Teaching_and_Learning_in_Single
_Structure_Education)

Our school feels greatly challenged about today's key competences and how they could be taught to
students, how to manage the immigration waves changing the context of our schools, and how to assist
the shift from project-based learning to phenomena-based learning(or design based learning), integrating
subjects, and last but not least, how to assist our teachers in team teaching and in cooperative learning for
the entire school environment ( see Centre for teaching and learning, Stamford University, Team
Teaching: Benefits and Challenges, Fall 2006, vol 16 no 1). Therefore we want to learn about work
organisation and team teaching, teaching environments for integrated curriculum education (or
phenomena based learning) in Finland and other countries holding best practices. We are keen on topics
such as teachers competences regarding student framework view (students as learning agents), growth
mindfulness environment(learning from mistakes, culture of trail and error), social innovation and
education(social entrepreneurship and circular economy), new in-service training methods, teaching of
key competences, well-funded students’ support system, contribution of research and science, training of
management and office staff, different education systems in Europe, Erasmus+ mobility’s, synergy of
education competitiveness by means of international collaboration, and good practices of European
schools.
Our school wants to improve the quality of education, to face the challenge of multiculturalism and
perform with a student agent perspective on the future PISA measure of global skills. Our school wants to
assist social change not only adapt to it by promoting and adopting phenomena-based education, teaching
kids how to learn, critical thinking and communication in multicultural contexts at the earlier ages.
.
Our school wants to achieve a higher level of competences for school staff
Our school therefore needs (more) qualified staff that can
• develop – together with stakeholders - a vision about innovation and chapters for education
performance
• create standing structures and models for learning aligned with today’s challenges – integrated
curriculum, topic based teaching not subject based teaching
• facilitate school or institution in transition bureaucratic evaluation of teachers competences to a
development type of (self) evaluation of competences
• understand and create a flexible mind growth environment in the class
• understand and assume accountability for their own progress and development
• understand and create a student view perspective when evaluating impact
• introduce teachers, head teachers to team teaching and open learning environment
• in service training model for how school manage team teaching and integrated curriculum planning at
school level
• arrange different activities with stakeholders, such as homes, local enterprises, municipality
• Our school wants to ensure the quality of the projects and link them to the curriculum.
• stimulate the streamlining of curricular elements with an innovative orientation
• apply successfully for grants within the Erasmus plus program
• communicate and collaborate with domestic partners and partners abroad to keep up with
advancement

STEAM TEACHERS:

• Developing inquiry-based and multidisciplinary approach

66
• Project based learning skills
• Team teaching competences
• Abilities to cope with the challenges of science education
• Supporting hands on education with serious games and gamification, arts
• Classroom subject based projects (phenomena-based education)
• Supporting social nets for STEM students, identify and support social innovation as
much as STEAM innovation

Our school will carry out pre-course tasks like SWOT (Strengths – Weakness – Opportunity – Threat)
analysis about development in our own school. We will collect knowledge about teaching, studying and
learning processes in our own school/s to be prepared to share it to others during the coaching for teachers
course. We hope that our contribution will inspire discussions of the course and believe that by sharing
information mutually all participants will benefit from the knowledge and ideas of the others.
We will also develop as post course and project material learning diaries which will include: lessons
to learn, compentences&skills; development plans, learning diaries will be shared with teachers
from our schools to creat a learning community and with teachers from other European countries
participating in the course.

Additional added value of the course Integrated curriculum! Teaching global skills through
science&arts

Good instruction is 15 to 20 times more powerful in producing student achievement than family
background and income, race, gender, and other explanatory variables. Student learning must be
at the heart of all decisions made in the school. (Hershberg 2005, page 224 The First Days of School).

Collaboration for schools by supporting teaching global skills, phenomena based learning is important
because schools transit to new learning methods, based on the societal and economic shift is a must not
an innovation option anymore (see M Fullan culture of change& diffusion of innovation). They are
challenged by a great deal of new demands concurrently, demands that can become obstacles or
opportunities, it is also another great challenge: that of occasional unscale education innovation that are
counter effective for schools new learning environment and blocks the process of deep learning (M
Fullan, New pedagogies for deep learning). Integrated curriculum! Teaching global skills course helps
schools to innovate their teaching, studying and learning processes and to develop their working
organisations, supporting team teaching, as a prerequisite of integrated curriculum. It is also a training
that allows schools and teachers advance on their very particular interest like improving readying habits,
schools wellbeing environment and dealing with bullying, professionalization of the teacher etc.
Mutual contacts of the course participants before, during and after the courses leverage principals and
teachers to contribute to the development of their own schools and also to school development at large.
Thanks to intensive information and communication throughout the course they learn to identify the best
practices of the field. Essential outcome of the courses are the recommendations of the participants for
their own schools and institutions.
The course Integrated curriculum! Teaching global skills, offers partner search possibilities and show of
best practices related to social innovation –school management, library system & reading, topic based
teaching, class ergonomic, music and art as horizontal teaching for STEM courses. Schools have good
chances to find partners for eTwinning activities and Erasmus+ partnerships and during KA1
benchmarking courses organised by Euneos FI. There are no big challenges for foreigners to cope with
languages. Even if Finnish and Swedish are the official native languages, English is spoken quite fluently
everywhere in Helsinki area.

Why Finland?
Since autumn 2014, Euneos, a Finnish course provider, organises Erasmus+ KA1 courses in schools of
Helsinki capital city area. EUNEOS is always trying to offer teachers a hands one training programs that
builds skills rather than knowledge and that are “open-source” rather than “licensed”. What does that
mean. Finland is known for its “free, accountable education system”, the teacher is putting it simple
deciding what to teach and when, this is not a policy but rather a value in Finland. The same with
EUNEOS trainings and that is why they are unique, teachers will see best practices and day to day
school activities, they will have the freedom to choose between different workshops and different levels
based on their needs and interests. The aim is to promote school development by benchmarking what
schools in Finland have managed to do well. Finland has a good reputation as a country with excellent
PISA results for years. And according to the OECD study in 2014 schools in Finland were the most
productive ones in the world. Several international researches indicate that Finland is the top performers
in school education for the time being.
The high level of teacher education explains a lot about the good PISA success of Finland, says the
scientific research. Participants can eye-witness other possible explanations during their observations
and active visits, discussions and workshops. And they can have evidence and share with others what
might be done better in their own schools, visioning the change and how to be accountable for that.
Helsinki is a special Nordic capital, where arts, design and music were historically socially and
technologically blended. Finland is the country with the largest number of music folk schools, with a
public library considered a social innovation. It is also an unique opportunity to actually see how the new

88
curriculum change (started in 2014 and which will finalise 2018 completely with full matriculation exams
online) is working in practice, in schools- part of this change is phenomena based education no more an
optional but a must in schools.

Personal competences
Teaching global skills –phenomena based learning, means steps forward in your thinking of day to day,
professional skills and attitudes. You get a better idea about your European colleagues, and you improve
your general and specific teaching and personal –communication skills. And you may also have a better
understanding of ethical, social and political responsibilities of education. Teaching global skills courses
are there not only to raise the quality of schools but above all to give more self-esteem to teachers and
other educational staff and emphasize/regain the social value of the teacher’s role in community. The
course is highly integrated with arts- music, architecture, design, assisting teachers’ creativity and
positive attitude which will foster the flexible mindset ones back to school.
If teachers attend to course together with principals/vice principals, or with other managers eligible for
Erasmus+ mobility’s, schools can take more immediate advantage of the outcomes of teaching global
skills courses and to implement innovative reforms at an accelerated pace regarding learning
environment.

Teaching global skills course in practice

Courses 7 days visits to schools and other good practice actors in the Helsinki area and to other
educational or cultural institutions where participation in true learning situations is going to fresh up
one’s professional skills. Target schools and the specific content of classroom observations are defined
according to a participant’s school level. While participants can get their own impressions, knowledge
and skills by means of observation with the occasion of workshops on social innovation directly linked to
phenomena based learning (multiculturalism, open museums, free educational environments, inclusive
schools environments for all students including ones with disabilities, multilingual context, music and art
in class). There are presentations of experts about the main topics. The workshops best practices visits
help one to digest, reflect and restructure the large amount of input achieved during observations.
Collaborative work is prepared, executed, assessed and diagnosed in cooperation with colleagues and
with local presenters and trainers.
There are pre-course live sessions for preparation and post-course sessions for assessment and
dissemination purposes, and online tuition and help desk on a community platform for the entire course.
Participants are provided with certificates and on-demand testimonies for Europass.]

Please outline the organization’s plans for European mobility and cooperation activities, and
explain how these activities will contribute to meeting the identified needs.

Suggestions for your answer. Be realistic. Choose two or three elements. If you have more than one
participant form your school, you can deal with more topics and learn much more

The topics and working methods of the Course “Teaching global skills” offer possibilities to ensure a
better qualified staff in different respects

1. Long term school policy plan


Our school wants to set up a long term school policy plan in which we describe

5. Dimension of the curriculum

Our school wants


• to make – step by step - an inventory of the elements in the curriculum that are connected to new
PISA skills, or the new millennium skills
• to start streamlining these elements in the subjects across school years and across subjects (cross-
curricular approach or topic based education/classes)
• to organise gradually more and more activities where phenomena based learning is promoted (e.g.
activities about “new integrated subjects like STEM, circular economy, art & science and not only
also traditional courses)
• further training in Euneos courses “Benchmarking and Best practices” or Teaching Coaching
Teachers” is suggested for becoming competent to use the Common Framework of Europe
Competence (CFEC) to assess to what extent students acquire new PISA skills

Therefore training of staff is needed to acquire the following competences


• to get acquainted with integrated curriculum or phenomena based learning, as developed by the
Finish national educational policy
• to approach course organisation and evaluation from student view perspective
• to get acquainted with growth mindset theory for education environment and how to support it in
connection with curriculum development
• to update inventory of present elements of growth mindset in different curriculum, and elements of
fixed mindset
• to broaden learning activities to which students should be exposed (inviting guest visitors on
transversal subjects like arts&science, circular economy etc, workshops and testing integrated
subjects based lessons)
• to learn the characteristics of the so called Common Framework of Europe Competence (CFEC)
(further training in Euneos courses “Benchmarking and Best practices” is suggested for reaching
this aim)
• to learn about teachers supporting standing structures courses on Coaching Teachers is suggested
for reaching this aim
• to use the CFEC to let students self assess to what extent they acquire innovative competences
(further training in Euneos courses “How to make your school international” is suggested for
reaching this aim)

Please explain how your organisation will integrate the competences and experiences acquired by
staff participating in the project, into its strategic development in the future?

Suggestions for answers. Select the competences /plans that will be implemented

processes, equal opportunities and cooperative learning)
3. Support gender mainstreaming for science and arts STEAM teaching
4. Support digital awareness and inclusiveness practices
5. Support skills based education and scale up of education innovation

12
12
6. Our school will create standing structures for (self) evaluation development, e.g. to set up a team
of qualified coordinators / supporting staff-teachers, students, outsourced etc)
7. Our school will make a realistic schedule about students impact of the project [2- 3] years, in
cooperation with administration
8. Our school will develop further the first piloting projects and will implement (some of) them -
hopefully with partner schools that take part in the course
9. Our school would like to apply for a Erasmus plus KA 2 partnership hopefully with one or more
partner schools that take part in the course
10. Our school wants to strengthen teachers competences based on students impact evaluation
approach to the curriculum and will set the necessary steps to first make an inventory of the
elements in the curriculum where there is space for student perspective, and then to streamline
these elements in the subjects across school years and across subjects (cross-curricular
approach)
11. Our school will disseminate the best practices learnt in the course by giving in-house training to
staff and students.

Will your organisation use eTwinning in connection with your mobility project? Erasmus+
program supports eTwinning a lot, and it is beneficial for your application if you can include
eTwinning activities going on or planned for future into it. Please describe how your school does it.

Our school/institution wants to improve the quality of education, to develop our work organisation and to
explore how classrooms are or should be organised regarding the challenges of transition from non-digital
to digital and the greater challenge of multiculturalism as the effect of rapid growth in immigration in
Europe
• to support school management and colleagues to make the curriculum more European and
student/education impact oriented
• ORGANISE TEAM TEACHING and how to make colleagues enthusiastic
• design phenomena based classes get colleagues on board and students interested and enthusiastic
• create a growth mindset environment for teachers and students to ensure embracing or facing
change rather than merely adapting to change
• Promote active local or community belongingness indifferent of child’s language, family
background, financial situation, language, nationality etc.
• Facilitate art-infused learning which will facilitate student view perspective on learning process
itself
• Support open learning environments through team teaching, phenomena based learning courses
(topic courses), learning outside the classroom experience

Our school wants to achieve a higher level of competences for school staff
Our school therefore needs (more) qualified staff that can

evaluation of students (pupils) as demonstrations of skills
• standing structures for team teaching plans(groups of teachers),
• teach outside classroom (community capacity building, collaboration with Museums, music
centers, digital content for arts&music, digital content for equity and equal opportunity for
learning)
• to broaden the range of innovative activities to which students should be exposed (in-house
training by means of digital apprenticeship “Meister-Geselle-Lehrling”, inviting guest visitors to
speak about innovation, visits to local firms that are active innovators, etc.).
• scale up innovation in the class and impact school organizational culture

The Erasmus+ Programme promotes the use of instruments/certificates like Europass, ECVET and
Youthpass to validate the competences acquired by the participants during their experiences
abroad. Will your project make use of such European instruments/certificates? If so, which ones?

18
18
Are you planning to use any national instrument/certificate? If so, which one?

Europass Mobility will be provided by the course provider.

How will you use the European/national instrument(s)/certificate(s) selected?

To give evidence of the European activities and to show progress in the competences acquired.

G. Preparation

Please describe what will be done in preparation, by your organisation and, if relevant, by your
partners and/or consortium members before the main activities take place.

Suggestion for your answer

Preparation
The programme of the course is tailored to the needs. Participants will fill out an intake form so that the
course organiser can design the course as much as possible according to the level of experience and the
concrete wishes of the participants.
The participants will get access to online folders where they will find all necessary information,
and they will be invited to a Social media community where they get to know each other, are informed
about current issues, communicate and share information and ideas and prepare for their own course
identified opportunities.

The sending organisation is responsible for collecting relevant information about their own school or
institution. There is need for specific information about the transition from teaching facts to learning how
to learn. According to WORLD FEDERATION OF ASSOCIATIONS FOR TEACHER EDUCATION
conference communicate April 2016, classrooms are not changing as fast as we thought they would, and
many still look like they did 100 years ago. Often, teachers can better understand what changes must take
place for the needed transformation toward embracing innovation, it is therefore the responsibility of the
school to document the needed training for teachers, school needs, but also think of local opportunities
and strength to support global skills teaching through phenomena based learning
(IE: important local art traditions, music centres, digital innovative for equity and equal opportunities for
learning, museum open day/class to the museum interactive programs, teaching STEM through arts
innovative any other social innovation)

G.1. Practical Arrangements


How will the practical and logistic matters of the project be addressed (e.g. travel, accommodation,
insurance, safety and protection of participants, visa, social security, mentoring and support, preparatory
meetings with partners etc.)?

Participants take care of organising their travel and booking their accommodation by themselves. Euneos
will give advice about accommodation near the course venue.
Visa: not needed. Travel insurance has to be valid as Erasmus+ program presupposes. Social security etc
on one's own responsibility.
As soon as participants have registered for the course, there will be communication with them. Virtual
mentoring and support takes place via email, online folders, Social media communities and websites. It is
continuous throughout the processes of the course.

19
19
Participants are also given opportunities to meet organisers and fellow participants in pre-course live
sessions in the Internet. Participants is the main task of the trainers on-site. Workshop coaches and
presenters also do their best to coach and monitor the participants. Teaching global skills for schools
courses are welcoming and safe environments for participants. This course especially will provoke
teachers creativity through the very culturally place where workshops will be organised (art induces,
music centres etc), creative positive atmosphere, culturally rich training experience that will support a
mindfulness state of mind of the teachers attending. The course description indicates types of intellectual
outputs and time slots are foreseen to produce them. At the end of the course a certificate listing the
competences acquired and the intellectual outputs will be given to participants.
Time is foreseen for partners to set up common projects.

G.2.Project Management

How will you address quality and management issues (e.g. setting up of agreements with partners,
learning agreements with participants, etc.)?

Suggestions for your answer

Agreements
Euneos, the course provider, is not obliged to provide Declaration of Honour or Mandate Letters due
to Erasmus+ KA1 courses.
If a consortium of schools/institutions applies for funding, such documents are required between the
members of consortium. The course provider is not included in the mutual tasks of consortium
members.

G.3. Preparation of Participants


Which kind of preparation will be offered to participants (e.g. task-related. Intercultural, linguistic, risk-
prevention etc.)? Who will provide such preparatory activities?

Suggestions for your answer

Participants fill in the intake form, join and actively participate in the online Community, collect
information on innovation of the school and visit the online folders where information is made
available for them by the organiser before the course. The organiser invites the participants to one or
more pre-course sessions in the Internet. Preparation is task-oriented and informative.
Euneos will collect information from the intake form to tailor-make the course design and
programme. Euneos will create an online community, inform participants about preparatory tasks and
inform all participants about practical arrangements.
