From September 10-13, 2024, the Grant Writers’ Retreat in Bucharest, Romania, facilitated by Centrul Pentru Promovarea Învățării Permanente (CPIP) through the New Ideas for New Opportunities Network, proved to be an outstanding success. The event, titled “Empowering Futures: Mastering Erasmus Grants for Vocational Excellence and Innovation,” brought together EU passionate professionals focused on strengthening their skills in Erasmus project development.

The retreat was designed to tackle key topics aimed at helping participants refine their approach to securing Erasmus+ grants. Participants engaged in deep discussions, shared strategies, and exchanged insights to boost the impact and sustainability of their projects across the EU.

The collaborative atmosphere fostered innovative ideas and set the groundwork for future initiatives that will benefit vocational training and education. The valuable knowledge shared throughout the retreat has empowered participants to return to their organizations with a refreshed perspective on how to elevate their projects for vocational excellence and innovation.
