Agenda radionice

The training workshop “Erasmus+ Opportunities in Vocational Education and Training (VET) and School Education – How to Participate in Erasmus+ Projects” was held on 4 February 2026 in Široki Brijeg.

The event was organized by the National Erasmus+ Office (NEO) in cooperation with the Office for European Integration of the Government of West Herzegovina Canton. It gathered 59 participants, including school principals, teachers, professors, and representatives of relevant institutions, most of whom had limited prior experience with the Erasmus+ programme.

The workshop focused on Erasmus+ opportunities available to Bosnia and Herzegovina in the fields of VET and school education, including Capacity Building in VET, Cooperation Partnerships, Centres of Vocational Excellence, and Alliances for Innovation. Participants received practical guidance on how to get involved in Erasmus+ projects, including information on EU Login registration, PIC registration, application procedures, partner search, and project management through relevant EU platforms.

Through interactive discussions and practical examples, the workshop provided participants with essential knowledge and tools to actively engage in Erasmus+ initiatives and strengthen international cooperation in education.

Sarajevo, 22 January 2026 – The training workshop “Erasmus+ Opportunities in the Field of Higher Education – How to Develop a Competitive Erasmus+ Project Proposal” was held at the International University of Sarajevo (IUS), organized by the National Erasmus+ Office (NEO) in cooperation with IUS.

The workshop focused on Erasmus+ opportunities available to higher education institutions in Bosnia and Herzegovina, with particular emphasis on Capacity Building in Higher Education (CBHE) and Erasmus Mundus Joint Masters (EMJM). Other actions presented included International Credit Mobility (ICM) and Jean Monnet.

Through an interactive approach, participants received practical guidance on preparing competitive project proposals, including defining objectives, structuring work packages, planning deliverables, and preparing project budgets.

The event gathered university staff members interested in participating in Erasmus+ projects as coordinators or partners, further strengthening institutional capacities for international cooperation.

On 16 December 2025, SPHERE  Virtual Study visit brought together academic and administrative staff, university leadership, students, and stakeholders to explore how higher education can advance teaching and learning for sustainable development. The event offered an in-depth institutional case study of a regional public university in Spain, highlighting how sustainability was embedded across strategy, pedagogy, research, and international cooperation.

The programme presented how a regional university positioned sustainable development as a core mission linked to regional growth and community engagement. Participants gained insights into institutional strategies, research-led approaches, and innovative pedagogical practices that supported the development of sustainability competencies among students and staff.

A strong focus was placed on international cooperation, showcasing collaborative models such as European university alliances, internship programmes, and service-learning initiatives that connected teaching, research, and society. Dedicated sessions also highlighted student perspectives, illustrating how learners actively contributed to sustainability initiatives and benefited from international collaboration.

The study visit further examined staff development approaches and current European trends in teaching and learning for sustainable development, offering participants a broader policy and practice context. Interactive elements, including live discussions, chat engagement, and Q&A sessions, were integrated throughout the programme to encourage active participation and shared reflection.

Overall, the virtual event provided a comprehensive and practice-oriented exploration of how universities can create supportive environments for acquiring the competencies needed to address sustainability challenges, while reinforcing their role as key actors in regional and international development.
