Work Educate Study Train

We are an informal group of young people from Portugal, with different studies backgrounds that gathered with the common goal to promote Erasmus+ “Youth Mobility” projects among the local youth and increase their participation in this kind of projects, through the establishment of partnerships with other informal groups and NGOs all over Europe. The idea to create this informal group came up from the past personal experience that each member of group acquired by participating in international projects in different places of Europe, and after meeting each others during some of those projects. The main goal for its creation is to have a more regular and effective participation in civic life and in European youth communities. Thus, in 2016 the group was launched and we are now starting to planning and elaborating projects to apply and hopefully develop on the next project-submission deadlines of 2017. For that reason, we are eager and willing to make partnerships with organizations/informal groups from different countries and fields of work in order to develop international projects together. The members of our informal group have a good experience with Erasmus+ projects, having attended many Youth Exchanges and Training Courses in different countries and have collaborated with different sending organizations from Portugal. This overall experience was mainly developed on a participant’s perspective but it still can be an asset for partnerships on projects with organizations from different countries, since we also developed the role of leaders of the national teams in the projects we took part. At the same time, we are willing to enhance our knowledge and experience, as well as to learn with more experienced partners on the facilitator’s and organization’s perspective in Erasmus+ projects.
