Speed Dating session Erasmus + Project

17th of June 2025. 16:00 – 18:00 (CET)

The Speed-Dating session is a matchmaking event where you can discover and discuss project ideas on Education submitted by QUEST members. It will be a great opportunity to connect with Educators and youth facilitators, and create partnerships for project applications within the Erasmus+ programme

What to expect?

Whether you’re an educator, a youth facilitator, or part of an organization, this is a great chance to exchange ideas and form new partnerships for upcoming Erasmus+ applications.

We selected for you these 5 project ideas:

- SCALE (Self-Directed Learning Across Europe): A research project exploring how self-directed learning influences children’s cognitive, emotional, and social development in real school settings.
- DESC Follow-Up: A continuation of the Erasmus+ project Democratic Education in School, aiming to spread its trainings and tools for applying democratic education within traditional school systems.
- Fostering Inclusive Classrooms through Creativity: A project focused on using creativity and intercultural pedagogy to raise awareness about exclusion and promote inclusive environments for young children.
- NatureKind, Outdoor Education Practices for Early Childhood in Europe: A project dedicated to gathering and sharing best practices for outdoor education in early childhood care settings across Europe.
- Empowering Youth: Integrating International Voluntary Service (IVS) and Intercultural Learning (ICL) into Education Curriculum. The project proposes the development of educational frameworks that foster intercultural competences and international volunteering Service skills within formal education in the Philippines. The goal is to empower young Filipino youth to contribute to their community development and international cooperation.

How does it work?

During the session, each project ideas will be hosted in its own virtual room, and participants will rotate through the rooms every 20 minutes. This is not only an opportunity to share your expertises, but also a chance to connect with other experts in the field and reflect on how to co-create projects that can have a real impact!

This event is open to the wider public, including educators, practitioners, and organizations interested in joining one of these project proposals.

Everyone is welcome to attend, and registration will include the option to express topic preferences in advance.
