In recent years, the development of constantly growing Erasmus + projects has taken on a special dimension. However, the management of these E+ projects requires a strong technical mastery of applications and documents, reflexes, and organizational tools. The training of future/new coordinators and E+ project management teams usually takes place in the organizations that carry out these projects. Technical knowledge is passed on by peers, ie not experienced coordinators to new recruits. Project management tools are often developed internally and individually by coordinators. The current context, but also deeper changes in the organization of work, shows the limits of these usual practices of peer training on the job.The sanitary situation due to the Covid-19 has shown us the limits of face to face learning and vocational training. The situation has forced us to develop new ways of working and training, particularly at a distance. The importance of the digital in our professional practice is highlighting. We must include in our practices, digital tools to reinforce our digital competencies. Moreover, the context has also drawn attention to the difficulties in implementing peer training or mentorship which usually takes place in the workplace. In usual times, the professional practice of the Erasmus + project coordinators makes it difficult to mobilize them on a regular basis to train newcomers. At a distance, this is made even more difficult. In addition to this informal transmission, there is a lack of developed tools that would meet both the needs for technical training and the consistency of monitoring tools.This highlights the need to set up a digital training tool available to new recruits. On one hand, this tool must be based on self-learning to acquire the methods and practices of project management. On the other hand, this tool must also allow the functioning of quality mentoring by experimented peers, as well as a remote evaluation of the progress in the management practices of the learners. The bEUjo + project, therefore, proposes to create a common project management tool that also acts as a learning tool (self-training and peer training).Based on the now well-known method of the Bullet Journal which uses digital codes on analog media, our project proposes to offer a double version tool, a paper version, and a mobile application.The objective is to equip the European project managers ERASMUS + with a tool combining several functions: a common, flexible, transversal project monitoring tool that also acts as a learning tool for new project managers and that will allow peer training. This tool is a real self-training tool will learning path for new recruits. It’s also the adaptation of physical peer training in a digital way to not lose the link between the peer. The project aims to strengthen the organisational capacities of the leading organisations or partners of European projects and to strengthen learning capacities online (at the workplace and by distance) in the area of European project management.The project involves a minimum of 10 Erasmus + project coordinators as well as trainees or new recruits who are in training. The project addresses all organizations with Erasmus + European projects (experimented organizations welcoming new recruits) or wishing to carry them (newcomer and non/less-experimented organizations).The project will develop 3 different deliverables: IO1: The bEUjo + web appIO2: BOX +: coordinator's “annex” toolboxIO3: The methodological guide to peer learning with bEUjo +The project also provides training and experimentation, evaluation times.The results and in particular the tools will be widely disseminated to the network of European partners as well as to national agencies.The project is designed to have an impact at local, national, and mostly at European levels. At the local level, the project will contribute to supporting the involved organization to have better coordination and workplace training and transmission of Erasmus + projects. At national and European levels the project will help all the organizations which are carrying projects or are willing to, to adopt a common way of managing projects. At the European level, the project will help to avoid the loss of information during Erasmus + projects lifetime.The project involves 6 European partners from 5 different countries (France, Germany, Spain, Greece, and Portugal), very experienced in managing Erasmus + projects. With this project, we expect to get more efficient, coherent, and professional coordination of Erasmus + projects thanks to better care and reception of new recruits as new coordinators of projects. We expect to get a better handover of projects, better-equipped structures, and finally reach employees' well-being and stress reduction thanks to the fluidity of information.
