Information about the training course

Appetiser aims to give a strong positive first experience of international youth work and motivate participants to use the Erasmus+ Programme and, to a certain extent, though it will not be tackled as much in details – the European Solidarity Corps Programme. This aim summarises the entire idea of the seminar – to give a feeling, what it means to work with young people in an international setting. Leaving all explanations and knowledge aside it is about giving a space for participants to explore the advantage of “internationality” themselves.

A feedback from a previous participant of Appetiser:

“Before applying to Appetiser course I thought that building up an Erasmus+ project was something so hard to complete, therefore many people wouldn’t dare to. While continuing the sessions I figured out that it was totally something about setting up a nice plan and finding good partners.  The sessions were so informative but it was not a bunch of excessive information, rather a learning to learn process I had passed.  It was an overall nice experience on behalf of me. Really beautiful, understanding and kind people all around all of whom I would like to keep in touch with, for the upcoming projects. Being a part of it was delighful, thank you.”

The network of National Agencies for Erasmus+ organises several Appetiser TCs per year.
