We talked about our project results (our Guidebook and Reflection Kit), we explained the process of project writing and implementing it and explained how Small scale partnerships work.

Last week, our director Kristina Cvetković, representing EDUnaut, participated in the Erasmus + conference that took place in Cologne, Germany (21st – 23rd May 2023).
The conference “Towards High Quality in KA1 Mobility Projects for School Education Staff – A Dialogue between coordinators of accredited mobility consortia, course providers and National Agencies” was organized by the Pädagogischer Austauschdienst (PAD), the German National Agency for Erasmus+
In-service training providers (course providers), representatives of National Agencies, coordinators of mobility consortia/projects, representatives of accredited institutions; but also representatives of European Schoolnet and European Commission took part in this event.
Objectives of the conference were networking among coordinators and providers, discussing quality in IST courses, discussing the opportunities on the new platform, meeting of all groups involved in Erasmus+ and having a real European meeting!
EDUnaut, being the IST course provider of Erasmus+ training courses, wanted to find out about any news on the Quality standards for courses under Key Action 1, open a discussion with our colleages on how they implement these European Commission’s guidelines and hear about the common issues of coordinators, whose schools participate in a certain course, directly from them.
We also wanted to have an open conversation with our colleagues from the European Association of Training Providers (EATP) – the group of experienced training providers, committed to delivering quality learning experiences and see what their recommendations are.
Many issues dealt by different stakelholders in Erasmus+ were discussed at the conference. Some of the topics of great interest were new Erasmus+ platform European School Education Platform (ESEP), new platform that merges the content of the previous School Education Gateway (SEG) and eTwinning platforms, with new additions.
It was a wonderful conference and a valuable experience with many new inputs.
Many thanks to Pädagogischer Austauschdienst (PAD), Stefan Schaaf and his colleagues Ute and Fabian from Nationale Agentur Erasmus+ Schulbildung!
