If you want someone to help you, please do take the time to write a
proper question.

Just posting an error message and screaming for help will most likely
not get you a lot of help.

Learning how to communicate with other people is an important part of
being a developer.

Kind regards,

Kasper Laudrup

Kasper is right, we need more clear.

But anyway, here is one example. In settings.py:

from pathlib import Path
import os

ROOT_URLCONF = 'sclub.urls'  

TEMPLATES = [
    {
        'BACKEND': 'django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates',
        'DIRS': ['sclub/appsclub/templates'],
        'APP_DIRS': True,
        'OPTIONS': {
            'context_processors': [
                'django.template.context_processors.debug',
                'django.template.context_processors.request',
                'django.contrib.auth.context_processors.auth',
                'django.contrib.messages.context_processors.messages',
            ],
        },
    },
]

sclub is my project and appsclub is my App

Thanks a lot!!!

My apologies, It is just because it is the first time for me in this Google forum, so I didn't replay asap.

My apologies again for not being clear enough!

So the fact that I got that error was just because the template folder was outside my main project and that the endless hierarchy of folders and files in a single Django project can be real pain. That is one reason, another one is that because of VS Code not having a clearer view of the files view browser. This is what confused me!
