The Erasmus+ Training takes place in the EUROPEAN CASTLE in Neumarkt in der Steiermark, AUSTRIA from 25th to 31st May 2025. Together we are going to participate in team-building activities, games, workshops connected to the main topic as well as leisure activities. The whole programme is accompanied by a reflection process. We are going to spend the week in a medieval castle, where we are accommodated in shared rooms and bathrooms. No participation fee will be charged. All costs for meals and accommodation are covered by Erasmus+. Travel costs are going to be reimbursed up to a maximum of 417 Euro per person, depending on the distance between your residence and Neumarkt and if you travel by the standards of GREEN TRAVEL. Information on the amounts of reimbursement can be found in the Info-Pack (tba).
You can apply by filling in the ONLINE FORM (tba) available until 31st March 2025. To apply you need to be between 18 and 35 years old, have an advanced level of English to participate in the programme and be a resident of the partner countries of the Erasmus+ project (AT, DE, DK, ES, HR).
