From Clueless to Consultant: 
 
- When I was 19, I did not know design, yet I had to make something in Canva. 
 
- When I was 20, I did not know accounting and finance, yet I needed to write timesheets and have them match the project budget. 
 
- When I was 21, I didn't know grant writing, yet I was included in the process and helped write and research needs analysis. 
 
- When I was 22, I didn't know course design, yet I did modules for dozens of topics and projects. 
 
- When I was 23, I didn't know project management, yet my roles and responsibilities evolved into managing more significant parts of projects. 
 
- When I was 24, I didn't know content creation, yet I wrote on LinkedIn every day. 
 
- When I was about to turn 25, I knew nothing about owning and running a business, yet this February, I started my consultancy. 
 
It is a simple, logical framework for lifelong learning and professional development.: 
 
1. Recognize the unknown: Spot the areas lacking knowledge or skills. 
2. Identify the value: See the importance and relevance of these skills. 
3. Commit to learning: Actively learn and master the new skill. 
 
Thank you for being a part of my professional development!

Erasmus+ Invests in Higher Education's Future: 151 Global Projects Proposed for Funding! 
 
The Erasmus+ program is making a significant investment in the future of higher education. Under the 2024 call for proposals, 151 groundbreaking projects have been selected to receive funding, fostering international collaboration and tackling global challenges.  
 
These capacity-building projects span diverse fields, from developing technology transfer hubs in the Western Balkans to empowering women in STEM fields in Western Africa. They'll bring together over 1,500 higher education institutions from nearly 120 countries to drive innovation and strengthen international relations. 
 
This investment aligns with my recent discussions at the #MyEU event, where we emphasized the importance of projects that empower passionate individuals to create positive change. Erasmus+ is going in a good direction with this. 
 
With a total budget of €613 million dedicated to higher education capacity-building over the 2021-2027 period, Erasmus+ has a lot to offer. 
 
Stay tuned for the 2025 call for proposals, opening in November 2024! 
 
#ErasmusPlus #HigherEducation #GlobalCollaboration #YouthEmpowerment #Innovation

Six months. Countless workshops. Numerous discussions. Multiple projects. 
 
In the middle of all these activities, I've had the privilege of engaging with various organisations, each with unique challenges and shortcomings in project development and implementation. 
 
Here's what I discovered:  
 
Despite their best efforts, many struggle to navigate the complexities of the Erasmus+ programme. The gap between project conception and successful execution is often more than expected. 
 
This realisation sparked a dual mission for me: 
 
1. To create and share relevant, actionable content that sheds light on the latest happenings within the Erasmus+ programme.  
 
My aim is to provide you with unique insights and personal experiences as an Erasmus+ Project Manager. 
 
2. To launch Wrap E Plus, my consultancy venture.  
 
Here, I'll work closely with organisations, guiding them to transform their Erasmus+ projects from mere ideas into resounding successes. 
 
I'm excited to share my best insights and uncover opportunities within the Erasmus+ landscape. I'm also here to offer my expertise on a more personal level to those who could use an extra hand. 
 
Stay tuned. The journey is just beginning, and I promise you, it's going to be enlightening. 
 
Follow me if you're interested. More news is on the horizon.

“You’re telling me I would do something impactful and see the results?” 
 
This was me on one of my first Erasmus experiences from a kickoff meeting in Bulgaria. 
 
I was still in my career in marketing and sales, working in an office behind a screen and analyzing data to optimise the company’s work. 
 
My father, who worked in Erasmus for over 20 years, invited me to a meeting in Varna. 
 
It was about Fear of Failure and how it impacted youth. 
 
The meeting was very long, showing exactly what the project aimed to achieve and how many people it impacted. 
 
I asked that question when I saw the responsibilities and what kind of progress organisations would be making. 
 
To know your work is directly and positively impacting someone and you could see the results of your work, it was the first moment I thought about a career change. 
 
Soon enough, I did. 
 
I went to these meetings more often, contributed to my work through research and content creation and realised the dynamics of work and the good being done. 
 
I had a realisation. 
 
The world doesn’t need another marketer or salesperson. 
 
But someone wanting to help Europeans? 
 
That felt like a calling. 
 
Now, I’m the CEO of a consultancy firm dedicated to Erasmus projects. 
 
I see the impact every day. 
 
From students gaining new experiences to professionals finding development opportunities. 
 
I’ve traded optimising sales funnels for optimising lives. 
 
And I wouldn’t have it any other way. 
 
For anyone considering a career shift, remember this: 
 
Sometimes, what the world needs aligns perfectly with what you’re meant to do. 
 
What’s your calling?

What an incredible experience at yesterday's @MyEU online event! 

I was privileged to present on youth engagement and Erasmus+, but the real magic happened in the following discussions. The passion for building a stronger, more connected Europe is thriving!

Key takeaways:

- There's a hunger for initiatives that genuinely serve all Europeans, not just the "elite" type of projects
- Grassroots projects led by passionate individuals are making waves
- We need to support initiatives that address real European challenges

The most powerful moment? Realizing that ANY project that enhances social cohesion between countries and fosters a united European identity is already a success. That's the true ROI we should be measuring!

Erasmus+ continues to be a driving force in creating these connections. From my personal journey starting as an exchange student to now running Wrap E Plus consultancy, I've seen firsthand how these experiences shape careers and change lives.

To everyone working on projects that bring Europeans closer together: keep going. You're not just managing projects; you're making an impact.

Let's continue this conversation. How has Erasmus+ or other EU initiatives impacted your life or career? Share your stories below!

Ever tried to build a sandcastle with dry sand? 
 
That was me, attempting to assemble a strong consortium for an Erasmus+ project. Just when I thought I had all the right elements, cohesion was what I lacked. Then, everything changed. 
 
Before, I believed having a good proposal was enough. I was wrong.   
 
What I needed was to align with partners who shared the same core values, embraced adaptability, and had a willingness for both teaching and learning. 
 
Imagine a team where each member is strong in their own field, but together, you have a perfect team. 
 
That's what started happening when I shifted my focus. I started seeking out partners who weren't just on the same page but were willing to in-depth with the project. 
 
Here's what you need: 
- Alignment in values 
- Adaptability 
- Learning everything you don't yet know 
- Teaching everything you do know 
 
The result? A consortium that makes an impactful project

News for Erasmus+ Participants: 95% of Learning Agreements Going Digital by 2025!  
 
Recent news from the European Commission – they're aiming to make 95% of Erasmus+ learning agreements fully digital by 2025. This is a game-changer for students, universities, and organizations involved in the program.  
 
What this means for you: 
 
Students: Say goodbye to massive paperwork and enjoy seamless online agreements! This means less hassle and more time to focus on your learning experience abroad. 
 
Universities & Organizations: Streamlined administrative processes will save you valuable time and resources, allowing you to focus on delivering high-quality education and support. 
 
My take:  
 
This is a massive step forward for Erasmus+. By making learning agreements digital, the program is becoming more accessible, efficient, and user-friendly.  This will not only simplify the process for students and institutions but also open doors for more innovative and impactful projects. 
 
I'm particularly excited about the potential for improved transparency and collaboration between institutions. With digital agreements, tracking student progress, sharing information, and ensuring a smooth and successful mobility experience for everyone involved will be easier.

Young and European:  A Bright Future Ahead?

Choosing the right Erasmus+ project isn't just about ticking boxes. It's about transformation.

Before, you might see these projects as opportunities for funding. 

Imagine them as gateways to your organisation's innovation, growth, and international collaboration.

1. Vision Alignment - Start where most overlook. Ensure the project's goals align with your organization's long-term vision. It's not about the immediate benefit but how it propels your mission forward.

2. Impact Potential - Look beyond the surface. Evaluate how the project could enhance your team's skills, broaden your network, and elevate your community impact. The right project leaves a lasting impression.

3. Cultural Fit - It's not just about the work. It's about the people and cultures you'll interact with. Seek projects that promise genuine cultural exchange, fostering deeper understanding and respect among your team.

4. Sustainability and Growth - Think ahead. Consider projects that offer sustainable benefits beyond their lifespan. How will it help your organization grow? Choose projects that promise more than just immediate outcomes.

5. Personal Insights - Dive into the experiences of past participants. There's no better guide than the stories of those who've walked the path. These insights can highlight unseen challenges and unexpected benefits.

Share your thoughts or discuss how we can choose projects that truly matter in the comments!

Green Skills & Job Mobility: Your Next Erasmus+ Project?

The latest #EmploymentOutlook from the OECD paints an interesting picture: employment is increasing, and the #NetZero transition is part of the disruption. High-emission jobs are on the decline, while green-driven jobs are in demand.

So, what does this mean for Erasmus+? It's a HUGE opportunity to focus on projects that build green skills and support job mobility:

- Training programs that upskill workers for the green economy.
- Exchange programs that expose participants to sustainable practices in different countries.
- Research projects that explore innovative solutions for a greener future.

#ErasmusPlus #GreenSkills #JobMobility #Sustainability #Education

Secretary-General of the OECD - Secrétaire général de l’OCDE

Our latest #EmploymentOutlook launched today with OECD Director of Employment, Labour and Social Affairs Stefano Scarpetta shows OECD employment is at a record high while the climate transition is expected to lead to significant shifts in labour markets.

OECD labour markets remain tight, with total employment now higher than before the COVID-19 pandemic and the OECD unemployment rate close to its lowest level since at least 2001. 

Jobs growth has flattened, however, and real wages have recovered to pre-2020 levels in only 19 of the 35 OECD countries with available data, despite some catching up in the past quarters.

The new Employment Outlook focuses on the #NetZero transition and its impact on the labour market, leading to significant shifts in labour markets, from high-emissions industries towards new opportunities in green-driven jobs. 

Policy priorities should be to enable the necessary jobs mobility, including through effective training programmes in impacted sectors, to support workers who have lost their job or who’s jobs are at risk through the transition and to promote green-focused innovation, entrepreneurship and jobs.
