Description
Erasmus+ Cooperation Partnerships (KA210 and KA220) represent a significant opportunity to collaborate across Europe, develop innovative practices, and address shared challenges through structured international projects.
They generate organizational and personal development as they create opportunities to share best practices, create new methods, grow a network, and transform your school’s weaknesses into strengths and opportunities.
However, KA2 initiatives require strong planning, clear cooperation strategies, and well-defined impact. In fact, gaining access to EU funding requires the possession of a full package of skills and knowledge, and can be highly challenging – especially for people at their first experience in writing a proposal.
This course is designed for educators, project managers, and school staff who want to develop or strengthen their skills in designing, planning, and writing KA2 successful Cooperation Partnerships (KA210 – KA220) within the Erasmus+ Programme.
Needless to say, the course is particularly suitable for participants who already have a basic understanding of Erasmus+ and are ready to move towards more complex, partnership-based projects.
A key element of the course is understanding the complexity of cooperation projects. Throughout the week, participants will explore the structure and logic of KA2 projects, including how to build meaningful partnerships, define shared objectives, and design coherent project activities.
Also, a particular focus will be on understanding how to properly (and efficiently) align their project ideas with Erasmus+ priorities while ensuring relevance, feasibility, and long-term impact.
This course’s aim is to adopt a practical, hands-on approach as much as possible. Through guided activities, real examples, peer exchange, and trainer support, participants will work on developing their own project idea.
They will learn to analyze the needs of your institution, to align them to the objectives of the call, and to write a coherent budget necessary to structure a clear KA2 project draft that fully respects those criteria, follows the project life cycle, and maximizes your project’s chances of reaching a high score at evaluation.
For this reason, they will learn how to design each section of the proposal in line with the award criteria and how to strengthen the overall coherence and quality of the application.
Also, participants will be guided in exploring how digital and AI tools can support project design, drafting, and coordination, while respecting Erasmus+ guidelines.
The international environment of the course will also offer a valuable opportunity to connect with potential partners and start shaping future cooperation projects.
By the end of the course, participants will have developed a well-structured KA2 project concept and key sections of a proposal, reviewed with the support of the trainer and peers.
They will leave with a clearer understanding of how to design, coordinate, and present a cooperation project that is realistic, coherent, and competitive at the European level.
Based on 20 years of experience in the Erasmus world
