Our Workshop will be supported by an Erasmus Scholarship. Each student will receive 79 Euros per workshop day. This will be 632 Euros in total for 8 workshop days.

We will provide you with nightly accommodations and three meals a day, so you don’t have to worry about where to sleep and eat, and can fully focus on the workshop.

For your accommodations and meal arrangements, we will charge you 30 Euros per day (240 Euros in total). This means you will have 392 Euros left for your trip to Germany and your travel and other personal expenses.
