Hola tod en s,
Os reenvío este correo sobre cursos en Inglaterra.
Parece que Amazon Nails en UK (dirigido por Paja Guru Barbara Jones)
ahorra hace cursos que se puede pagar con una Beca Grundtvig o
Comenius. Abajo está la información. NO lo traduzco porque si no se
entiende inglés no hay mucho sentido en asistir. Sí que comento que a
mi punto de vista, muy subjectivo, Amazon Nails son los mejores
constructores con paja que yo conozco. Valdría la pena estudiar con
ellos.
Pronto, me imagino, me enviarán detalles sobre costes y demás (aún no
los tienen) que reenviaré pero cómo cuesta bastante rellenar los
papeleo ya os podéis ir empezando...La última vez que intenté
conseguir una beca de estas me lo negaron porque olvidé firmar un
papelito....¡suerte!
Rikki

> To apply, contact the main data base at http://ec.europa.eu/education/programmes/llp/national_en.html

> and follow the link to your own country agency. Then give your
> agency a ring if you have any questions – they are usually pretty
> helpful and want to assist you in getting funded placements. Each
> country agency has slightly different criteria, but they all
> generally require that you are part of a legitimate group or
> organisation and are able to provide them with a costs breakdown for
> (a) the course, (b) accommodation and food, and (c) for travel. We
> can give you costs for the course and accommodation, we are just
> finalising this with the European funding body.

> Although the above courses don’t yet have a database reference
