Erasmus+ Incubator Course

Tips, tricks, and implementation hacks for creating high-quality Erasmus+ projects and accreditations.

Erasmus+ course summary
Erasmus+ Incubator is a practical course designed for education professionals who want to improve the internationalization of their schools. The course systematically covers all the important perspectives for successful internationalisation through three pillars: project development, networking and collaboration, and innovation and technology.

Ad1) Project development covers school policy on internationalization, Erasmus+ planning, needs analysis, setting impactful objectives, project management, and quality assurance. Participants will receive practical guidance and ideas for preparing an effective Erasmus+ plan with sustainable impact. Additionally, the course will provide participants with a comprehensive list of impact indicators and measurement tools for monitoring and evaluation of their international projects. Furthermore, the course shows how to integrate project results into daily school practice.

Ad2) Networking and collaboration explore eTwinning, Erasmus+ networks, hosting job shadowing, maintaining high-quality partnerships, and leveraging a community of practice. Participants receive networking resources and are encouraged to join relevant communities of practice.
​
Ad3) The innovation and technology pillar explores artificial intelligence, virtual exchange, and other tech to enhance Erasmus+ project development and management.
By the end of the course, participants will prepare a concept note for their own Erasmus+ project with concrete input in every single chapter. However, the most important learning outcome is the awareness of the participants that internationalization is not a single project, but a strategy and policy worth following by all teachers, students, parents, and local policies.

OBJECTIVES

The Erasmus+ Incubator course aims to equip education professionals with practical skills and tools for developing high-quality Erasmus+ projects, building strong partnerships and networks, and fostering a culture of continuous improvement and learning in the area of internationalization. This includes providing guidance on key areas such as project development, needs analysis, project planning, project management, and monitoring and evaluation. Participants will improve their skills in project planning also by building their networking competencies and utilizing artificial intelligence effectively.

METHODOLOGY

The methodology of the Erasmus+ Incubator course is designed to be interactive, participatory, and project-based. The course includes facilitated discussions, presentations, and interactive exercises designed to introduce participants to key concepts, principles, and best practices in internationalization.
