Training course “EU Funding Opportunities” for the employees of the Technical Secondary School “Pavle Savić” in Novi Sad
The representatives of the European Affairs Fund of Autonomous Province of Vojvodina, Jano Puškar and Čarna Zeljković, have held a three-day training course “EU Funding Opportunities” for the employees of the Technical Secondary School “Pavle Savić” in Novi Sad. The training was held at the Technical Secondary School “Pavle Savić” in Novi Sad from 28th to 30th March 2016 with aim of training the school personnel in the development and implementation of EU funded projects.
During the three-day training, the participants were informed about the opportunities and ways of applying for grants offered by the European programmes and funds to institutions in the Republic of Serbia, with the focus on education, and learned about the project development methodology. In the informative part, the presentation involved the cross-border cooperation programmes, above all the Interreg IPA CBC Hungary-Serbia 2014-2020 and the Interreg IPA CBC Croatia-Serbia 2014-2020, as well as the EU programmes, with the focus on Erasmus+, the EU program covering education, training, youth and sport, and Europe for Citizens. In the practical part of the training, the participants’ skills and attitude were developed, so that they could write project proposals on their own, think of possible partner organisations, build the project structure through the logical framework and prepare the project budget obeying the limits defined by the EU legislation. As a result, four project ideas were designed, which could potentially be submitted under some of the EU calls for proposals. On the last day, the participants learned about the budgeting of EU projects and the structure of the application form of some EU projects in detail.
