Description

SALTO EuroMed is launching the Erasmus+ Community of Practice (CoP) in South-Med, a series of four online meetings bringing together organisations active in Erasmus+ Youth across the South-Mediterranean region.

The Community of Practice aims to create a space where practitioners can exchange experiences, reflect on challenges, and collectively develop approaches to strengthen the quality of Erasmus+ projects and partnerships.

Members of the Community of Practice are expected to take an active role in defining, assessing, and eventually disseminating practices and approaches connected to local realities. This is not a passive learning space, but rather a working group of practitioners committed to mutual learning, peer exchange, and the continuous improvement of Erasmus+ cooperation in the South-Med region.

All meetings will take place online from 11:00 to 14:00 CEST.
