The sponsored international participants will be accommodated in a hotel/apartment close to the event venue for the 21st and 22nd of February.
Travel subvention:
Is calculated from your home location to Bucharest, Romania based on the Erasmus+ distance calculator.
For example, let's say that Hans traveled from Rotterdam to Bucharest
(500-1999km) and his travel costs previously agreed with the organizers are
160 EUR. His travel subvention will be calculated as such:
Total, he will get a reimbursement of 136 EUR for his costs of 160 EUR.
- for the first 100 EUR, he will get a 100% reimbursement, thus 100 EUR;
- for the next 60 EUR, he will get a 60% reimbursement, thus 36 EUR.
Please note that:
- only the cheapest / most direct itinerary as well as the tickets booked through the airlines websites or the discounted links suggested by GEYC team are eligible for reimbursement.
- the transfer will be made after the event via bank transfer, upon the receipt of all justifying documents.
- expenses made in other currencies than EUR will be reimbursed according to InforEUR exchange rate for the month of the payment.
About the project
The primary objective of CREAction 4 EU is to promote youth participation in European civic life through digital means. The project addresses this challenge through innovative ways of building up the capacity of youth to be able to contribute and demonstrate their solidarity in a time of crisis, participating in the decision-making process and taking responsibility for shaping a sustainable common future. The active citizenship and the value of solidarity will be vehiculated through creative channels, both online and offline, and fostered by social entrepreneurship in the creative sectors.
The multiplier event will close this 24-month project, presenting all the outputs (Handbook for Youth Workers, CREAction4EU Ambassadors digital course, Learning scenarios for youth and Digital Guide) and exploring how youth work can further support young people in their creative business ventures, especially in times of crisis. The project is coordinated by RESOPA (France) and implemented with the help of GEYC, InSite Drama (Hungary) and JO Education (Italy). The conference is organized in partnership with the European Parliament Liaison Office in Romania.
We are very excited to welcome you in Bucharest and reflect together on how youth work can better support creative entrepreneurs, especially in and after times of crisis!
