WHAT IS THE TICTAC TRAINING COURSE / PBA?

TICTAC is a network TC/PBA open for all National Agencies for the Erasmus+ (Youth) programmes and targets voluntary and professional youth workers and youth leaders involved in international youth work and interested in using the programmes as a tool in the strategic development of their work or organisation. By bringing together representatives of youth organisations from different European countries the TICTAC aims at improving the potential of the participants to get involved in the programmes and consequently increase the quality of future international mobility of youth workers projects. TICTAC is built around long-term strategic planning and project cycle. TICTAC covers all the different quality features of international youth work when building a local strategic plan as a tool for quality improvement of mobility of youth workers projects.
