Impact+ in the field of youth

Download programme here : Impact+ Youth Field

Impact+: Youth Field training course offers applicants of the Erasmus+: Youth in Action and the European Solidarity Corps programme to better plan and assess results and impact of their projects.

The training course is based on the Impact+ Exercise that was developed as part of a Transnational Cooperation Activity project led by the United Kingdom Erasmus+ National agency and CMEPIUS the Slovenian Erasmus+ Education and Training National Agency. This model was later adapted for the youth field and tested on a national level by Movit Slovenian Erasmus+: Youth in Action National Agency.

The main aim of the training course is to equip participants with knowledge and skills for successful planning and assessing impact of the projects in the youth field.

Objectives of the activities are:

  • Participants will learn about the basic concepts related to project management and impact assessment.
  • Participants will get to know the Impact+ tool and its adaptation for use in the youth field.
  • Participants will learn to plan and assess projects’ results and impact.
  • Participants will explore and define projects’ indicators and data sources.
  • Participants will learn to define relevant audiences and further develop dissemination plan of the project impact.

During the training course participants will learn about the concept of impact, how to plan and assess projects’ impact through group work. Part of the time will be dedicated for working on individuals’ project ideas and the possible impact. Therefore, it is advised that participants already have project idea they would like to apply in the Erasmus+: Youth in action or European Solidarity Corps programme or they are already implementing such a project.

Target group: Representatives of youth organisations, youth workers, youth and project leaders planning or/and implementing projects in the Erasmus+: Youth in action or European Solidarity Corps programme.
