Erasmus+ Vocational Learning study visits

Protected Area Learning in Europe (PALE) programme 2019-2022

EAI has been successful in receiving further funding from Erasmus + for another 34 study visits and is very similar to the previous projects but the opportunities are now throughout Europe. This can be an idea you already have, the opportunity to attend a meeting, seminar or conference or to join a prearranged tour that we are in the process of planning. These are all funded by Erasmus+ and can be an individual or group study tour.

Some of the benefits of being involved in these study tours are they:

  • Facilitate and enhance learning that cannot be acquired within the UK
  • Inspire participants to share their experience in a European context with others
  • Motivate individuals and encourage them to follow up on their experiences with further learning and development opportunities
  • Create opportunities for ongoing learning with European partners
  • Facilitate the sharing of the learning gained to a wider audience

or to quote one of the most recent recipients “I found the trip to Latvia incredibly inspiring and it increased my understanding of the benefits of connecting with nature on a personal and professional level.”

Importantly, travel and subsistence are fully funded.

Latvia

The first of these trips was a group from SNPS who went on a trip to Latvia  including one day at the Europarc Federation Conference. The group have produced an excellant newsletter/report where you can read all about the expriences they had and things they learnt. Take a look here

Sweden

A group involved in access took a trip to southern Sweden. Find out what they saw and learnt here
