ERASMUS+ PROJECTS: A difficult world that may feel overwhelming sometimes
Navigate it with us – We make Erasmus+ easy for you to understand
Poland, 17-04-2025
Hello everyone out there,
All good people with passion to develop education projects with European projects 😍💚. If you would like to join the world of Erasmus+ but you don’t know how, this article is for you 😊
Let me ask you a question: Have you tried to understand the Programme Erasmus+ and how to apply for different projects, but you got lost with too much or maybe too little information, and especially, clear and useful information you can actually use? If your answer is #yes; then stay with me. I am here to make things easier for you (nobody likes complicated unclear information, right? 😜).
My name is Mara and I have been supporting individuals and organizations/ institutions at European level understand better the Programme Erasmus+. We have been asking people, for the past 10+ years, what is difficult for them to understand In relation to the Programme. Here are some answers from people who got to us, divided by 4 categories: 1. REGISTER ORGANISATIONS; 2. CLEAR / SIMPLE / USEFUL INFORMATIN ON THE PROGRAMME; 3. SUPPORT; 4. INDIVIDUALS WILLING TO JOIN PROJECTS. Read more about the struggles we have found and which we try to lead you through:
#1. REGISTER ORGANISATIONS and INSTITUTIONS:
Some of the struggles people find when navigating the Erasmus+ world:
“How do I create an NGO? What does an OID mean? How do I get an OID number for my school, institution, NGO?; Most projects require an OID/PIC number and I don’t know how to get one. How do I register/ certify my institution, or organization?”
If you have these questions in the back of your head, we can actually help you.
🔹 Firstly, check our free webinars launched online in our website, in our resource corner: LINK (https://eutrainingacademy.wixsite.com/eutrainingacademy/resource-corner).
🔸The webinars probably already answer to some of your questions; but if there is more you have been wondering about… Go through our website or contact us. Our courses online try to answer exactly to these questions. SEE LINK HERE (https://eutrainingacademy.wixsite.com/eutrainingacademy/courses-enroll).
#2. CLEAR / SIMPLE / USEFUL INFORMATIN ON THE PROGRAMME:
The BIG PART OF YOUR WONDERS, we know 😊 We hear them and read them way too often:
You believe often that there is “too much information", "not clear information" and then you find some more information and you get lost in all of it. Or you believe there is “too less information”, meaning clear practical information you can actually use. We truly feel you 😇
Ideally, you should be able to understand what is out there for you to use and create projects you 💛 love and make sense to your community. And… Get funds to do what you love. This is what we do every day in our lives with organizations, institutions, individuals. But let’s see what struggles people share with us in this category:
There is “lack of information”, “I don’t feel I have guidance or access to other institutions experiences”. “I find useful the guidelines, but I lack practical examples”; “I don’t know how do I choose the right projects, goals of it”, “I don’t understand how to organize Erasmus+ projects”.
It can be really overwhelming… Some more struggles you find: “Country-specific requirements and overload of information”. “Too many documents”, “There is a lot of text to go through. There is no simplicity to get the info.”, so “beginners cannot really understand it”. “ I need a step-by-step guide to go through the information” and the list goes on and on and on 😳🙂 (I can even hear you spinning out, truly) 😵
Although we understand these struggles you face and I have been meeting them so often in my trainings; let’s switch our minds to look for solutions, right?
If you need access to services, to information, to training; you need to look where this information is and to the people who can actually help you.
We have been implementing training on Erasmus+ and project creation, project writing and project management for over a decade. We are in the field and we listen to your concerns, so we can bring also the solutions to you. So, first thing you can do and doesn’t cost any money is to check our social media, webinars online and resources we have out there for you. That is a first good step to start from. However, keep in mind that this is just the beginning.
If you want to implement projects, it is all too difficult and you need support – you need to look for it. We can help you out. We can train you and your team through training for organizations (a training tailor made for the needs of your team) or for individuals (people register for a group course to get this information).
🔹We recommend you look for what we offer within EU Training Academy here: Our Courses

Or listen also to our podcast when we share most information broadcasted to you: See in our webpage.
Let’s see what other struggles you have been facing:
#3. SUPPORT
It seems that there is a lot that you may be not able to control in this world; however, there is also a lot you can actually do 🙃
The third element is support, that you so often lack and this is something you can look for, in an easy way.
You miss:
- Clarity and structure;
- Step by step instructions;
- One place that has it all, simple clear information in one place, ideally “designed specifically for newcomers of Erasmus+, with examples of projects”;
- Information related to finding reliable, up-to-date Erasmus+ information from official sources quickly.
In other words, you miss 💚support, 💙 a coach, ❤️training, to support you with projects applications, give you examples of projects, simplify it for you, in a step by step process. So, here we go 🤗
If you need guidance, you may look for a coach, training or consultations. Check our website or contact us.

#4. INDIVIDUALS WILLING TO JOIN PROJECTS
We are getting now to the part of joining projects, when you do not belong to an organization and you do not want to apply for funds – you simply want to join projects, learn, meet new cool people and grow. Sounds like a good plan; right? So let’s see what is stopping you. 😊😉
What you struggle to understand:
“Do I need to belong to an organization?”, “how can I actually join projects” - “where and when do I look for information?”. “Most resources focus on institutions, making it difficult for individuals to navigate the process”. “Projects are always for youth workers or leaders. I'm a student that works as a barista to pay for my school, and unfortunately i don't have enough time to volunteer in a NGO, but I really want to know more and join more training courses and maybe start something on my own.“ “There are so many opportunities for young people and I would like to share this opportunities to my peers” but I don’t know how to “get started” and I “lack the time to go through all the information”.
