Hey guys,

How are you?

In case you missed the Hangout call, I will be giving you some brief information on how to start your journey with Erasmus+

What is Erasmus+? Well, if you have the time and patience to go through the Magna Carta, then you have to download what is called the Programme Guide. It's a very, very, long document (over 300 pages), which has all the details about E+. I would suggest that you only go through pages 75 - 80, because I am sure that most of you will only find them useful.
But I am Italian, can I find something closer to home? Yes! You have what is termed as the National Agency (NA), called l'Agenzia Nazionale Per I Giovani in Italy, which should have everything you're looking for. I would especially suggest that you go through their events list - they have info sessions and training courses listed there.
What if I want to expand my horizons? Fret not my friends! There is what is know as the SALTO-YOUTH - European Training Calendar. This has a list of all training activities in on a European (or international) level, which are not-for-profit and directed to youth workers wishing to develop their competences to further work with and for young people, to share experiences and, on occasion, to make contacts for common future projects. Find one which you like, see if you can apply, and contact your National Agency (ANG) to check whether you are eligible. They will then guide you accordingly.
So where do I start from? Well, firstly I would suggest that your organisation (AEGEE-Bahamas for example) applies for what is called a Partner Identification Code (PIC). You may find a helpful presentation with more details here. This will enable you to organise and join projects Europe wide.
And then? Then you can join projects and travel for (almost) free, meet loads of people, learn and have fun. And when you're back, don't forget to organise more projects and teach people around you :)
For further questions, do not hesitate to contact me!
