Our unique mentoring program is designed specifically for Montessori organizations like yours, guiding you through the entire grant application process, from formulating your project goals to finding the right grant category, to writing a high-quality application that meets ERASMUS rules.
Over six online sessions, we'll provide expert guidance and support, helping you to create a project budget and find partners from EU countries to join you in your quest to bring Montessori to children in your community.
