The winter is slowly coming and the time has come to organise Eduk8 Starter! The Eduk8 Team is looking for an Organising Committee to host the event. If you would like to know more about the event itself - click here.
Back in June, we announced the approval of a European Youth Foundation grant that would provide financial support to four Eduk8 events in 2016; This is the first one that will benefit from such support. Below you can find a lot of detail for potential Organising Committees to be aware of and the application form is enclosed as well.
The deadline for submitting your application is 23:59 CET 21st of September 2015.
The application form and the budget template can be found in attachment and must be returned by the deadline to [email protected] and [email protected].
As the ESN Eduk8 Trainings are different from other ESN events, please be really careful about the following requirements.
BASIC INFORMATION
Timing: 13th to 21st of February OR 20th to 28th of February 2016
Duration of training: 9 days from Saturday (arrival of participants) - Sunday (departure of participants)
People attending: 40 Participants + 4 Trainers (2 external and 2 internal) + 1 International Board member + 3 Team Member = 48 TOTAL
Note: Eduk8 Team and IB member responsible will arrive and leave with trainers.
EXPLANATION OF THE GRANT FUNDING
The estimate budget listing typical costs is as follows:
Accommodation and meals = €22 per day x 7 days x 48 people = €7,392
Local transportation = €2 per day x 7 days x 48 people = €672
Venue rental = €3 per day x 7 days x 48 people = €1008
Workshop material = €400
This basic budget amounts to €9,472.
These costs above are based on past Eduk8 events. Normally OCs could keep costs under this, but we the higher price was kept to give OCs more room to breathe. Keep in mind, the above categories are not restricted, so if you don't need money for local transportation or venue rental, it can be allocated elsewhere.The maximum you would look to receive from the grant is €4,298. If your budget does not exceed €9,472, you would need to co-finance the event with €5,174, which works out to a €130 participation fee (only 40 people will be paying the participation fee). If your total budget is higher than €9,472, this is where you would look to get external sponsors, support from your National Board, etc. If your external sponsorships reduce your expenses below €9,472, it means lower participation fees for everyone, yay!
