E-tutoring and Project Design for Strategic Growth

Life-long learning is one of the core driving forces of VVI foundation. We constantly monitor our successes and identify paths for organisational development. Recently we embarked on an exciting journey for professional development of our team via staf mobilities in the KA1 Adult education sector of the Erasmus+ programme. Within the project we will be able to learn E-tutoring and project design from the experienced Italian organisation European Grants International Academy Srl.

Through the implementation of this project, we aim to bolster the organization's development, enabling us to address the learning needs of our target group in a more effective and sustainable way.

Our objectives are to:
- Empower organization's staff members with advanced E-tutoring skills to enhance online education delivery.
- Elevate the educational experience and international cooperation of the organisation through developing the skills of 2 staff

members in project design.

The first mobility within this project took place from 4th to 9th November 2024 in Foligno, Italy. Our chairperson Stanimir Kiskinov participated in a "Blended course for Project Proposal Writing", facilitated by the experienced team of EGInA.

Second mobility in Foligno, Italy

Four members of our team participated in a nine-day training program in Foligno, Italy, held from May 12 to May 20, 2025. During the training, they acquired in-depth knowledge and skills for effective use of the Moodle platform, including the creation, structuring, and independent management of online courses. These competencies will significantly enhance the quality of the foundation's adult education programs.

Our team returned motivated and equipped with new digital skills that we plan to integrate into our work to improve the learning experience and engagement with both learners and colleagues.

Advancing Our Expertise in Erasmus+ KA2 Project Development

Our Executive Director, Ralitsa Rumenova, participated in a six-day international training on writing and developing Erasmus+ KA2 projects, held in Foligno, Italy, from 17 to 22 November 2025. The training took place within the framework of our project “Distance Learning and Project Design for Strategic Growth”, supported by the Human Resources Development Centre (HRDC).

During the training, the participants gained advanced knowledge and practical skills related to the strategic design of KA2 projects, partnership building, impact planning, and sustainability. The program was facilitated by experienced experts from EGInA and brought together 24 teachers and trainers from Italy, Spain, Portugal, and France, providing a valuable international learning environment.

The experience strengthened our organization’s capacity to develop high-quality European projects based on real needs, strong international consortia, and long-term impact. We returned motivated and inspired, and we are already applying the newly acquired expertise in the development of new project ideas and future collaborations with partners from Portugal and Italy.
