Today, April 20th 2021, is awaited the open of the Call for Capacity Building in the field of youth, part of the Erasmus+ Youth Programme 2021.
The deadline for submission of projects on Capacity Building in the field of youth is July 1st at 17:00 (CET).
Capacity Building
Capacity-building projects are international cooperation projects based on multilateral partnerships between organisations active in the field of youth in Programme and Partner countries. They aim to support the international cooperation and policy dialogue in the field of youth and non-formal learning, as a driver of sustainable socio-economic development and well-being of youth organisations and young people.
The proposals should focus on one or more of the following thematic areas:
- political participation and dialogue with decision-makers;
- inclusion of young people with fewer opportunities;
- democracy, rule of law and values;
- empowerment / engagement / employability of young people;
- peace and post-conflict reconciliation;
- environment and climate;
- anti-discrimination and gender equality;
- digital and entrepreneurial skills.
As we already mentioned before, as a glance through the Erasmus+ Guide, a special attention has to be hold on the following thematic features when designing your project:
- Environmental Sustainability;
- Inclusion and Diversity;
- Digital Dimension;
- Common Values, Civic Engagement and Participation.
Keep in mind that such features might boost the chances of your project’s approval.
