March 13, 2014 User deactivated Leave a comment

CPD and IN-SERVICE opportunities for UK/EU teachers, headteachers, lecturers, educators, based in stunning location near Bergamo, Italy.
Why and How to….Take Learning Outdoors!
Erasmus+ is the NEW EU format (replacing Comenius/Grundtvig etc) As a result the application forms have JUST been published on 18th Feb with a closing date of 17th March.
Contact us at: info@adventurascotland.co.uk for further information/guidance on how to apply using this new process and/or see Erasmus+ site
http://www.erasmusplus.org.uk./key-action-1/mobility-for-school-staff
One of the biggest changes is that an ‘organisation’ (school) must apply, NOT individuals.
The application process is thorough and time is short, however with only one deadline date/year we have had no option but to try and aim to fill a course by 17th March due to late publication of EU forms.
