Agência Nacional lança nova iniciativa para a capacitação de animadores de juventude
Se a pandemia nos retirou a possibilidade de nos juntarmos fisicamente para partilhar e aprender, construir e redefinir futuros, a tecnologia oferece-nos oportunidades para que o façamos com a esperança de continuar a transformar as dificuldades em oportunidades.
É neste contexto que, no sofá ou noutro espaço qualquer, a Agência Erasmus+ Juventude em Ação lança o desafio de nos desinstalarmos e procurarmos novas abordagens para temas relevantes do nosso quotidiano.
Nasce assim este novo conceito – SOFA – que no mês de outubro terá 4 sessões:
A cada quarta-feira, sempre no mesmo horário – 17h00 – 19h00 (hora de Lisboa) – todos os inscritos em cada uma das sessões terão a oportunidade de trabalhar o tema com facilitadores experientes e tópicos atuais e interessantes.
The 2020 collection date for the Open Call by European Cooperation in Science and Technology (COST) will be extended by 2 weeks, with the new deadline for COST Action proposals now Friday 13 November instead of Friday 29 October.
This decision has been taken in acknowledgement of the many challenges faced by prospective applicants throughout the year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This Open Call marks the last occasion under Horizon 2020 for prospective COST Action networks to apply for funding.
