NEW APPLICATION Call 2019 Round 1 KA1 - Learning Mobility of Individuals

DEADLINE Deadline (Brussels Time) 5 Feb 2019 12:00:00


FEBRUARY 12, 2019

General support document for an Erasmus+ grant application


The European Development Plan (EDP) plays an integral role in consideration of Erasmus+
applicants during the 2019 call. For this reason, applicants are urged to make references to the
plan realistic and relevant in an application.

What’s new with Erasmus+ application process?


Since 2018, all Erasmus+ applicants, including schools, are required to submit their project proposals through a web-based application
process. Model application forms that apply to the 2019 Call for Proposals can be found online at http://ht.ly/BiGy30noIX5. If you
experience problems with either the application or the website, ask your National Agency for support.

A European Development Plan sets the scenario for an Erasmus+ application. It should explain why funding is sought and where it sits
within future plans. The document is not complicated, but it will take some planning and reflection. A EDP should include:
- An outline of the applicant's current status. For example, what European project activities have you completed? What Continuing
Professional development have you done?
- A vision for the future. Where do you want to be in 1, 2, 5 or even 10 years' time?
- Identified Needs. How will you get from where you are now to where you want to be?
- Planned activities versus needs. How ill your planned activities meet identified needs?

The EDP should embrace more than the mobilities for which you are asking for funding. It is a wider perspective of the
internationalisation development of your institution, so make sure your plan focuses not only on internationalization but also on
modernization. Also remember that a KA1 project impacts, influences and involves all members of the applicant organization, also
referred to as a learning community, in preparing and implementing a project as well as disseminating its successes. .

Consider the EDP as advertisement space to present and distinguish your institution from the other millions of schools, organizations
and institutions in Europe. Tell the reviewers how your project adds value and might be considered as the starting point for something
else and for another Erasmus+ project. The mobility component of the project should be part of a wider plan, and you should make
mention of the process that brought you to design the project.

How many? How long?


The application asks that the project design to be clear and describe the process of selection. We recommend you be flexible in the
number of participants and the timeframe of your project. Mobility to Barcelona can be tricky. For VETPRO training and professional
visits, it is best to avoid summer, the height of tourist season. The hotels charge premium rates and many institutions and organizations
are closed, so professional visits cannot be scheduled. Internships and work experience can take place year-round.

Be sincere in your application – it is recommended that you submit a project that can be shaped according to its feasibility at the
moment of having received the authorization for funding. Regarding cohorts of participants, we recommend VETPRO groups be
limited to no more than 20 for no longer than two weeks. These can be divided into several mobilities throughout the term of the
project, as the application asks you to plan “FLOWS” of mobilities. Training is limited to 30 participants in total, but we recommend
you opt for cohorts of less than 20, as the number of participants plays an important role in the application consideration process.

The team at Global Skills Network provides all services for your mobility to Barcelona or Granada. Throughout the 15 years we have
participated in lifelong learning, we have developed a strong working relationship with organizations, businesses and the public sector
that makes us reliable and efficient partners. Our Beneficiary Welfare Officer assigned to every project makes it their job to tend to all
the details that make every project successful. We will take care of you!

Training Courses
Global Skills Network has been a provider of quality EU courses for over 15 years in a variety of subject matters and fields. We can
tailor Erasmus+ courses, and later for Erasmus 2020, to fit a variety of needs. In addition to being a course provider, Global Skills
Network also serves as a host organization in your application for complementary services such as accommodations, airport transfers
and interpretations.

National Agencies evaluate applications, they have no premeditated course in mind. The content of an application is analysed from the
perspective of the European Development Plan, i.e., how your school, consortium or institution is going to advance their mission in a
planned manner. This support document contains indicative content as a template to design the content of a course for specific
purposes.

For a list of Erasmus+ National Agencies and to download the application form, visit the European Commission’s website at
https://ec.europa.eu/programmes/erasmus-plus/contact

It is advisable that you prepare application texts in a Word document before filling in the application form.

The European Development Plan - EDP


In this section you are asked to formulate your organisation's European Development Plan. The Plan should describe your
organisation's longer-term goals and explain how they relate to the organisation's needs and the context in which it operates.
The EDP is meant to provide the background for your application and, therefore, it should cover a longer period than the
duration of the project.The scope of your European Development Plan should be proportional to your organisation's size,
capacity, and existing experience in European and international cooperation. You should aim to define goals and objectives
that are both relevant and realistic.

The European Development Plan is an important part of the application because it forms the basis on which you will build your
project proposal. The rest of the application form is designed following that logic. At the end of this section you will be asked to
define specific objectives of this project and to explicitly link them with the broader goals of your European Development Plan.
In all other parts of the application, and in particular when explaining the expected impact of the project, you should make sure to
remain consistent with the answers you have given in this section about the project's objectives and their relevance in the context
of the European Development Plan.

The European Development Plan is an organisational policy plan focusing on quality development and internationalisation
of your organization, i.e. focusing on the future of your organisation. Some organisations may already have formulated a
European Development Plan, others may find it necessary to develop their plan since it is now a requirement by most
National Agencies and also a serves as a justification of your KA1 application. The European Development plan should
mirror your organisation’s long-term goals and needs since the application asks you to “define specific objectives of your
project and to explicitly link them with the broader goals of your European Development Plan”. You will need to identify
the main areas for improvement (for example: international cooperation, competences of staff and management, innovative
teaching and learning methods, European Dimensions, international elements in the curriculum, etc.)

1. Provide an outline and describe where the organisation currently stands in terms of quality and internationalisation.
Create an experienced team with expertise in different area and conduct a SWOT Analysis (strengths, weaknesses,
opportunities, threats). This can be easily accomplished by interviews with national/local authorities, management, staff,
stakeholders, etc. Identify the needs of your organisation. Be realistic, most of the times negative outcomes initiate positive
changes.

FEBRUARY 12, 2019

2. Based on the identified needs, develop a vision, outline and describe the expected status of your organisation and set
short-term and long-term goals in order to develop a short-term and/or long-term plan. For organisation with no experience
in formulating a European Development Plan, a short–term plan is highly recommended. Convene an experienced team
with expertise in different area (example: representatives from the management, School Board members, heads of different
departments in your organisation, staff, etc.). Conduct SWOT analysis and develop 3-to-4 key objectives (note: too many
objectives will overcomplicate your plan, especially if your organization is very young or its management team doesn’t
have a lot of experience. Objectives need to be valid, realistic, measurable, and most importantly, achievable. You should
not strive for aims that are high to reach no matter how desirable they sound.

3. Dissemination of new knowledge and technologies are important elements during the consideration process of an
organisation’s European Development Plan. Assessment and evaluations are also important elements, as both positive and
negative results could be the benchmark for the setting new short-term and/or long- term goals,

4. Based on the identified needs, envision and plan how to get from where you are to where you want to be. Your
organisation should set up a team of qualified European coordinators, develop high quality formats of international projects,
international networks and Erasmus+ partnerships.
• Outline an organisation’s plan for international/European mobility and/or virtual projects.
• Explain in details about the skills, competences and experience expected as a result of your project’s activities, and
how they will contribute to reaching the objectives.
• Be concrete and specific about goals you would like to achieve.
• Emphasise the European Dimension, in terms of experiences and good practices that can only be gained during the
mobility in another country justified with strong arguments.
• Emphasise the benefits of the international networking especially in terms of future projects.
• Identify the key needs and goals of your organisation in the area of European mobility and cooperation. These
might include:
- transition from non-digital to digital in education
- acquisition of 21st Century and Knowledge Economy skills
- transform classrooms into innovative learning environments
- create teacher Communities of Practice to build relationships and share expertise
- a focus on the acquisition of mindset and entrepreneurial skills to apply to education, business, and

- inclusion of special needs students
- facing the challenges of newly-arrived migrants
- contribution of research and science
- update training of management and office staff
- learning from different systems of education in Europe
- awareness of European dimension and global classroom thinking

5. Define the key areas of your organisation's activity that you would like to improve and explain how. For example, reflect on your
plans to improve staff and management competences; teaching and training content, methods and tools; development of key
competences and skills of staff and learners; development of sustainable cross-border cooperation; etc.

6. Focus on European development - key areas for improvement by articulating specific aims and pursuits such as
developing qualified staff that can develop – together stake- holders:
 a comprehensive vision about innovation and chapters for implementing innovation in the policy plan about
European development in school/institution
 create standing structures and models for innovation in school/institution

Preparation
Once registered, participants will have access to our online portal with information about the course, material, and logistics, as
well as an opportunity to connect with other participants. Erasmus+ provides a number of online platforms with useful information
and tools for organisations active in education and training, including eTwinning, School Education Gateway, EPALE (Electronic
Platform for Adult Learning in Europe), and the Erasmus+ Project Results Platform. If relevant for your organisation's field of
activity, these can also be used for preparation, implementation or follow-up of your project.
What kind of preparation do you plan to offer to participants in mobility activities (e.g. task-related or intercultural training,
linguistic support, risk-prevention etc.) and how do you plan to provide it (i.e. who will be delivering the training and in what
form, the approximate timing when it will take place etc.)? Organisers of the project collect all relevant information that is needed
for the topics chosen by our school participant(s): draft versions of school policy plan, project descriptions and reports, learning
materials (to identify elements of European dimension), Erasmus+ applications and other materials required by the course
organisers. Success stories of operations, learning, community involvement, etc. are prepared to be presented in certain courses.

Activities
Applicants will be asked to include information about each type of activities you plan to organise. The available types of
activities are: structured courses or training events abroad, teaching assignments, and job shadowing. Please provide a summary
of staff mobility activities you plan to organise, including the content these activities should cover and an estimated timing
when the different activities will take place.
How are the proposed activities going to help address the needs and achieve the goals described in your European Development
Plan? In particular, 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?
Please describe your plans in terms of potential destination countries and hosting partners.

choice to be the hosting organisations.

Destination countries and hosting partners. Global Skills Network is an SME founded in 2003 as MS Barcelona for partnerships
in Lifelong Learning programmes. We began providing courses for staff and faculty on mobility programmes to Barcelona in a
variety of fields sponsored under Leonardo da Vinci and Grundtvig as customised training coupled with technical and professional
visits. Since then, Global Skills Network has become the leading programming provider in Barcelona, including participating in
Erasmus+. Our aims are two-fold:
1) promote professional development opportunities for enterprise and public sector staff and schoolfaculty and administrators
by introducing and teaching new approaches to learning;
2) to prepare trainers, instructors and teachers to facilitate learning, especially through the mastery of information &
communication technologies and the transformation of learning, especially incorporating digital content in curricula.

If you have not yet identified all of your hosting partners, explain how you plan to find suitable host organisations for the
mobilities you propose to organise. The table presents all of the different types of activities you can apply for. To submit a valid
application, you need to request at least one activity from this list. To request funding for a specific activity, you will be

Please note that the average duration is based on the duration requested for individual support in the details of particular activity.

Organisational Support
Applicants for Organisational Support grant request funds to cover costs directly linked to the implementation of mobility activities
that are not covered through specific grants for travel, individual support, course fees and special costs. For example, organisational
support grant can be used to cover expenses for preparation, monitoring and support of participants, for setting up and administering
mechanisms for recognition of participants' learning outcomes, for organising dissemination activities, etc. The grant for organisa-
tional support is calculated based on the number of participants in the project: 350 EUR per participant up to the 100th participant,
and 200 EUR for each additional participant beyond that. Organisational support is not provided for accompanying persons.

Participants
Information about participants in each type of activities you plan to organize will be requested. The available types of activities are:
structured courses or training events abroad, teaching assignments, and job shadowing. You will need to describe the profile,
background and needs of the participants you plan to involve in mobility activities and explain why you have decided to involve
them. If relevant, describe the selection process you plan to use to identify the exact persons who will be supported by the project.

Participants’ Profile. Describe the background and needs of the participants involved in benchmarking courses and how these
participants have been or will be selected.
- Per participant (to be linked to school development plan). Be as concrete as possible
- Who will attend the course. Subject, experience with innovative projects.
- Which of the topics will be covered by the participant(s).
- What will be the task of the participant related to the topics/competences acquired after the course.
For example, Person 1 will further develop the school policy plan. Person 2 will lead the team of
innovation. Person 3 will be responsible for innovation in his subject. Person 4 will be in charge of
applications to other funding resources (i.e. KA2 strategic partnership or knowledge alliance), etc.

Monitoring and Support


The program of the course is tailored to the needs of the applicant – a collaboration between Global Skills Network as course
provider and participating schools, enterprises or other organisations. Participants are invited to register at our portal as soon as
the course is confirmed. The team leaders of the course concerned design the course as much as possible according to the level of
experience and the concrete wishes of the participants. The aim is to build a closed social online community to communicate with
the provider and other participants, to find all necessary information about the course, to publish materials of their own and to
collaborate with other participants in preparing course activities and possible common projects.
What kind of monitoring, mentoring or similar arrangements do you plan to put in place to track the participants' progress
and support them during the mobility activities?

Monitoring by the trainers. The trainers of courses are professionals who are competent to follow and steer the proceeding of
the work of participants. GSN tools and other possible platforms (WhatsApp, Facebook groups, etc.) are used to monitor the
course. Self-evaluation of participants is encouraged. Each day participants are challenged to do self-assessment by means of
learning diary. There are discussions about learning diaries during and at the end of course. Finalising the course monitoring
there is an online evaluation focusing on the different aspects of the course: content, working methods, guidance, materials
provided, quality of the training staff, and opportunities to create innovative projects. There are also open-end questions for
personal comments in the evaluation form. These are included as valuation of the output and of the competences gained by the
course participants. The approach is document analysis method as an indicator to measure the quantitative and qualitative
output of the course (draft versions of school policy plans, versions of project scenarios and first versions of Erasmus plus
applications).The competences acquired and the outputs realised can be verified in group and plenary discussions, above all in
wrap-ups of learning diaries. The on-site evaluation (for e-learning online) form includes a comprehensive amount of questions
to inform about the course results focusing on the different aspects of the course such as quality of the content, of the working
methods, of the personal guidance, of the teaching staff, of the materials provided, relationships built, etc. Competences
acquired and the outputs realised will be listed on the Europasses, and all participants successfully completing the course will
receive a Course Certificate.

Post Course
Participants will be encouraged to develop a dissemination plan for reporting to administrators and staff as well as to their
stakeholders. This includes reports to the National Agency and the design of multiplier events.To guarantee a sustainable
learning outcome the online community will be available to work with after the course. Then participants can easily access all
the training resources, continue discussions with co- participants and instructors. They will also report on the transfer of the
experience gained in their own organisation as the outcomes of course. Outcomes of the course should be shared with the
managers and administrators to ensure the possible implementation of the course philosophy in the real world. A closed online
group to support communications during and after the course will be built to support communication of the involved
participants. There, course instructors and organisers will share news and information, which will also be carried on social
media.

What benefits do you expect your project will have for your local community and the wider public?
As a result of the course the innovative activities and dimension of the school/organisation will increase. Current end-users
(students, staff, faculty, administrators, etc.) will benefit from the presentations, initiatives and events undertaken directly or
indirectly by the course participants. Thanks to new ideas and improvements, activities with homes, local enterprises,
municipality, other stakeholders and media, both traditional and social media, can be promoted.
How are you going to evaluate if the project's objectives have been met?
Reports and self-evaluations of participants, as well as evaluation of the provider, is required to enable general assessment of
mobilities after the course. Therefore, participants are challenged to produce a report of learning outcomes of the course. The
course provider is required to produce and publish the results of the provider’s evaluation (Global Skills Network carries out both
on-site and online evaluations and publishes the results of benchmarking courses systematically.)
