Objectives and benefits of the training course

●  Foster understanding, awareness and commitment to core quality criteria of the European 
Solidarity Corps
●  Build up competences on how to design and implement European Solidarity Corps projects with a view to quality
●  Ensure clarity and support on how the programme works formally: opportunities,  guidelines,

●  Give space to participants to express burning issues and needs and offer support where possible
●  Foster a supportive community of organisations involved in the European Solidarity Corps
●  Awaken the learner within

Part of the course is an obligatory online preparatory phase:

Before the residential training course in Jordan, there is a mandatory online  preparatory/introductory phase. It aims to introduce basic information in order to establish common grounds as well as provide a place where participants will start to form a community of learners and will carry out first homework and assessments of their own organisation, local community and own needs.

We are looking for participants who: 

●  are involved in the Volunteering Actions in European Solidarity Corps Programme
●  are connected to organisations/institutions holding a Quality Label for Volunteering (or an 
accreditation for Volunteering in Erasmus+).
●  have a crucial role in and commitment to
●  providing conditions for high quality activities
●  ensuring a positive impact of Volunteering Activities within their community
●  creating learning opportunities within the organisation and for volunteers

Team

The concept of the TOSCA is based on the experience of the network of National Agencies and
