Comenius Preparatory Visit

I think we should apply for a preparatory visit within the Comenius Project, so everything can be finnancied - that means that we will not pay anything, which in these difficult moments of Europe is very important, hehe

How many days can we be in another country? (maximum)
5 days including the days of travel, so that would be 3 days in the country and 2 days for travel.

How much money can we ask for the visit to our National agency?
Depends on each National Agency, but in general, they have already numbers for each travel and a fixed rate for each day. Example - they have a price for a trip to every country ( in Portugal maximum for the trip is 500€), and they have a fixed rate for each day, example - 70 € per day. For a total of 5 days i would get in this example 500+70*5=850€

The Apllication Form
The apllication form for the preparatory visit can be written in our native language or for example in english, but we must confirm this in each National agency .

The dates to apply?
Minimum, 8 weeks before we pretend to have the preparatory visit.

When do we know the result of the application? When do we know if we will get the grant to go to the visit?
Only 2 or 3 weeks before going. So we must prepare everything like we were supposed to go. In Portugal, they say we always have money for this, but the quality of the application form, must have at leats 65of 100 points.

Necessity of the preparatory Visit?
 -It is very important to complete the application to a comenius project. We try to complete all the formularium to a comenius project.
-We get to know each other much better and face to face.
-We explain our iddeas better
-We should put our wishes and hopes on the paper
-It is much easier to get funds for a preparatory visit than to a comenius project
-We get a boost in our motivation for the project
- We have time and company to work on the project, because usually i only work in Portugal in my free time, and not as a necessity.
