Why teachers partner with us

You write the project — we make it real on the ground.

A KA210 or KA220 partnership is only as strong as the partner who turns the work packages into something pupils actually do. That’s us: real classroom activities, tangible results to share, and an Athens team experienced in running European projects. Our hands-on method is already proven in a real classroom here — so your application reads like it will genuinely happen.

Your idea’s still a spark.

You have a theme — green skills, digital storytelling, inclusion — but no consortium yet. Start small: a KA210-SCH small-scale partnership needs just two organisations from two different Programme Countries, a lump sum of €30,000 or €60,000, and 6–24 months. We help you shape the aims, the activities and the dissemination, then sign on as your partner. It’s the ideal first project.

Your project’s written — you just need a partner who’ll actually deliver.

You have the consortium and the application is nearly done; you need a partner with a proven hands-on method and the capacity to host. For a KA220-SCH cooperation partnership — minimum three organisations from three different Programme Countries, €120k / €250k / €400k, 12–36 months — we contribute real activities, transferable toolkits and methodologies, and we host the learning/teaching/training activities and transnational meetings here in Athens.

Bring the class and the application. We bring the method, the activities and the welcome in Athens.

01What we bring to your school

Six things a school gets when EVEC is the partner on your KA210-SCH or KA220-SCH project — most written straight into your work packages, all backed by a partner who shows up.

A partner who hosts in Athens

On a KA220 project we host the learning/teaching/training activities and transnational meetings; on a KA210 we host the project meetings. Your teachers and pupils come to Athens for the partnership’s own activities — and the city does the rest.

Hands-on activities pupils remember

Our seed-to-plate microgreens method turns an abstract “green skills” work package into something pupils actually sow, grow, harvest and present. Real, transferable activities you can name in the application.

Green and digital in one project

Every activity pairs green skills (urban farming, the European Green Deal, seed-to-plate) with digital skills (short-form storytelling in CapCut and Canva). Two Erasmus+ priorities covered by one set of activities.

Transferable results, not just an event

For KA220 we help build the toolkit, methodology or platform that other schools can reuse — exactly the kind of transferable output the cooperation action is designed to fund. For KA210 we keep the shared results simple and real.

Dissemination that actually reaches people

Pupils become storytellers: progress photos, one-minute presentations, recipe videos. We help you turn the activities into dissemination material that travels beyond the partner schools.

A partner you can count on

EVEC is an experienced Erasmus+ and European Solidarity Corps organisation in Athens with its own venue, staff and international volunteers — a fully eligible KA210-SCH / KA220-SCH partner who shows up and delivers.

02The two actions we partner on

KA210-SCH · small-scale partnership

The ideal first project

Just two organisations from two different Programme Countries, a lump sum of €30,000 or €60,000, and 6–24 months. Simpler to apply for and manage — built to widen access for newcomers and smaller schools. Activities: project management, transnational meetings in Athens, simple shared results, and dissemination. We partner with you and help shape it from the first draft.

For bigger, transferable results

Minimum three organisations from three different Programme Countries, a lump sum of €120,000 / €250,000 / €400,000, and 12–36 months. For substantial, transferable results — toolkits, methodologies, platforms. May include learning/teaching/training activities (short-term joint staff training, teaching assignments, short- and long-term pupil mobility, blended mobility) and transnational project meetings, which we host in Athens.

03Themes we strengthen

Pick a theme and we’ll build the activities around it. These are the green-and-digital strands we bring into a KA210-SCH or KA220-SCH project — microgreens is the one we’ve already run live; the rest we’re actively growing into the toolkit.

You bring the idea — we bring the hands-on workshops that make it greener, more memorable and genuinely innovative.

Help writing your project

New to Erasmus+, or prefer to lead it yourself? We help schools and first-time applicants turn ideas into funded applications — structuring priorities, work packages and outputs, and reviewing your drafts — while you stay the author and owner. Describe your idea and we reply within 48 hours with honest feedback and the next step.

Built for the quality criteria

Where partnering with us adds points.

Erasmus+ evaluators score your application against four quality criteria. Here is exactly where partnering with EVEC adds points on a KA210 or KA220 project — with concrete classroom activities, not vague promises.

Relevance

Your project hits the green-transition and digital-skills priorities at once: seed-to-plate urban farming tied to the European Green Deal, plus short-form digital storytelling. We help you show real needs in your school and a genuine European angle — the activities make the relevance concrete.

Project design

We turn aims into deliverable work packages: the microgreens cycle as a named activity, transnational meetings (and, for KA220, LTTAs) in Athens, clear results and a realistic timeline. Evaluators can see the project will actually happen — because we’ve run this kind of activity before.

Partnership

A complementary, transnational consortium with clearly allocated tasks. As your Athens partner we own concrete activities and hosting — not a passive name on the form. KA210 needs two countries, KA220 needs three; we strengthen either.

Impact

Transferable outputs (for KA220, a reusable toolkit or methodology), pupil-made dissemination that travels, and lasting green and digital skills. We help you plan how the results outlive the project and reach schools beyond the partnership.

KA210-SCH and KA220-SCH are scored on the same four quality criteria with different weightings — we help strengthen your application on each.

What we bring into your classroom · the EVEC toolkit

The hands-on workshops your pupils will remember.

One method is already proven in a real Athens classroom; the others are growing. We bring microgreens into a partnership today as a tested activity — solar, drones and mycelium are strands we’re developing, not deliveries we’ve made yet. We’re honest about what’s ready.

Microgreens

Growing microgreens as an educational tool — a tray of seeds becomes a hands-on, cross-curricular lesson in science, sustainability, healthy living and enterprise — run it as a classroom toolkit or a school-garden unit. We’ve run it in a real Athens classroom — a seed-to-plate programme at Kanasi School — and back it with a 100+ article library.

The Athens hook — done honestly

Partner with us, and your teachers and pupils come to Athens.

This isn’t a standalone CPD trip — there’s no such thing here. The travel is part of your partnership’s own activities. Build it into the project and the mobility is funded, purposeful, and ours to host. The city does the rest.

KA220-SCH

LTTAs + project meetings in Athens

A KA220 cooperation partnership may include learning/teaching/training activities — short-term joint staff training events, teaching and training assignments, short- and long-term pupil mobility, blended mobility — plus transnational project meetings. We host them. Your teachers train and your pupils learn here, inside the project, with the activities run by our team.

KA210-SCH

Transnational meetings in Athens

A KA210 small-scale partnership keeps it lighter: transnational project meetings are part of the action, and we host them in Athens. Your team comes to plan, deliver and review the project on the ground — and sees the microgreens method first-hand.

We’re hosts, not a tour company. The activity is the point; Athens is the bonus.

Proven activity · European Solidarity Corps

Microgreens at Σχολή Κανάση (Kanasi School), Athens

Marking European Youth Week and Europe Day, our team ran “Stay Healthy, Beautiful and Young — Detox with Microgreens 2” at Kanasi School in Athens (6–22 May 2026). It was delivered through our European Solidarity Corps programme (ESC project 2025-1-EL02-ESC51-VTJ-000345995) — not a KA2 school project, but the very methodology we’d bring into a KA210-SCH or KA220-SCH partnership as a project activity.

Students aged 14–15 worked in groups of three with rotating roles — Grower, Director, Storyteller — running the full seed-to-plate cycle inside their own school. They sowed seeds on Wednesday 6 May, cared for the trays for nine days, then harvested, weighed the yield, gave a one-minute variety presentation, exchanged portions in a solidarity circle, and cooked a recipe at home.

It builds green skills (European Green Deal, urban farming, seed-to-plate) and digital skills (short-form storytelling with CapCut and Canva). EVEC staff led it, with ESC volunteers from Italy and Spain. This is the transferable activity we write into a school partnership — proven, hands-on, and ready to scale across a consortium.

A partner’s word

What a partner organisation says

“EVEC has been our partner since 2018, and our organisations are now part of each other’s accreditations. Every year they send us excellent participants, and every year they host ours in Athens. We’re growing side by side — and there’s nothing better than growing with like-minded people who share the same vision: empowering young people with European values.”

For teachers & project writers

Your questions, answered straight.

The honest, practical questions a busy teacher asks before naming a partner or starting an application — answered plainly, with no jargon and no overpromising.

Which Key Actions can EVEC partner on?

Two: KA210-SCH (small-scale partnerships) and KA220-SCH (cooperation partnerships). Both are open to any organisation active in education with no accreditation required, so we’re a fully eligible partner in either. We don’t offer standalone staff mobility or CPD courses — our value is as a delivery and hosting partner inside your cooperation project.

What’s the difference between KA210-SCH and KA220-SCH?

KA210 is the smaller, simpler action: two organisations from two different Programme Countries, a €30,000 or €60,000 lump sum, 6–24 months — the ideal first project. KA220 is bigger: minimum three organisations from three different Programme Countries, €120k / €250k / €400k, 12–36 months, for transferable results like toolkits and methodologies, and it may include learning/teaching/training activities and transnational project meetings.

Does EVEC have a School Education accreditation?

No — and we won’t pretend otherwise. Our only Erasmus+ accreditation is in the Youth field, plus a European Solidarity Corps Quality Label. But KA210-SCH and KA220-SCH need no accreditation from any partner, so we’re fully eligible to join your project. Our delivered portfolio is in Youth, VET and ESC; the Kanasi microgreens workshop shows the hands-on method, not a completed school-sector KA2 project.

Can our teachers and pupils really come to Athens?

Yes — through the project’s own activities, not a separate trip. A KA220 partnership can include LTTAs (short-term joint staff training, teaching assignments, short-term and long-term pupil mobility, blended mobility) and transnational meetings; a KA210 includes transnational project meetings. We host these in Athens. The mobility is part of the partnership and funded within it.

We’ve never written an Erasmus+ project. Can you help?

That’s exactly why KA210-SCH exists, and why we like starting there. Bring us a theme and we’ll help shape the aims, the activities and the dissemination, then partner with you on the application. Small scale, two countries, simpler management — the right way to learn the ropes.

Is the microgreens workshop a KA210 or KA220 project?

No. It was delivered through our European Solidarity Corps programme at Kanasi School. We present it honestly as the proven, transferable methodology we’d bring into a KA210-SCH or KA220-SCH partnership as a project activity or output — not as a school-sector KA2 track record.

What activities would EVEC actually own in the project?

Concrete, deliverable ones: running the seed-to-plate microgreens activity with pupils, producing green-and-digital outputs (storytelling, presentations, recipe content), helping build the shared results or toolkit, leading dissemination from our side, and hosting the meetings (and, for KA220, the LTTAs) in Athens.

What other themes can you build around?

Microgreens is proven and ready today. We’re growing the toolkit toward mycelium, solar and drone-based STEAM strands — we present these honestly as in development, not as deliveries we’ve completed. Tell us your priority and we’ll scope an activity that fits your work packages.
