All costs for Sicily Digital School courses can be supported with Erasmus+ grant, your organisation’s or your own funding. The Erasmus+ grant corresponds to the compensation level of Erasmus+ programme 2021-27, as presented in Erasmus+ Programme Guide 2024
Sicily Digital School courses have a fixed price. The fee for a 7-day on-site course is €660.
This fixed price does not apply to special courses tailored for schools or consortia.
The full course payment of €660 is divided into 2 parts:
- Course Fee (for a 7-day course): €560 for tuition and materials. This is covered by the course fee you receive with your grant: €80 per day.
- One hundred euros (€100) per participant in staff mobility for courses and training that you receive with your KA1 grant for organizational support goes to the course provider, due to the higher cost level to make the high-quality courses affordable. Please read the Erasmus+ Programme Guide 2024. Another option is the contribution paid by participants as a form of co-funding contributed by the participants in mobility activities.
- The course methodology integrates observation, sharing and creating output consolidating a quality course. Participants observe teaching, studying and learning processes in classrooms in small groups or individually, share experiences and expertise on the topic in group and plenary sessions and work individually or in groups on recommendations for one’s own school (learning diary, social media updates, blogs etc.). aspires creating an output. Working individually or in groups on a concrete product to be used in your own school.
