Summary
The objective of the present Topic is to provide structural support, referred to as operating grants, to European non-governmental organisations (ENGOs) and EU-wide networks active in the field of youth.
Detailed Call Description
General aims/objectives:
- Raise awareness of the EU Youth Strategy including the European Youth Goals, through actions to engage, connect and empower youth
- Increase commitment and cooperation of youth civil society actors with public authorities for the implementation of policies in areas relevant for young people
- Boost youth stakeholder participation, including by building upon the potential of digital communication alongside other forms of participation
- Boost youth civil society involvement in the dissemination of policy and programme actions including results and good practices among their membership and beyond.
These general objectives draw on the assets of youth ENGOs and EU-wide networks and on their capacity to reach out to large numbers of interested parties and to advocate EU policy priorities.
The organisations active in the field of youth that will be supported under this call are expected to carry out activities such as:
- Activities facilitating access and participation of stakeholders in the implementation of EU policy priorities in the field of youth, including those activities building on the achievements and contributing to the long-lasting legacy of the European Year of Youth
- Exchanges of experience and good practice; networking and partnerships with other stakeholders
- Capacity-building for the member organisations, including peer learning, training, advisory, guidance and coaching activities to improve the effectiveness of policy actions
- Initiatives and events for developing the membership of the ENGO/EU-wide networks
- Awareness-raising, information, dissemination and promotion activities (seminars, workshops, campaigns, meetings, public debates, consultations, etc.) on EU policy priorities in the field of youth and on EU funding instruments (EU programmes, in particular Erasmus+, European solidarity Corps) to support these priorities
- Cooperation activities to increase policy impact on target groups, sectors and/or systems.
All the above activities should contribute to widening the outreach towards young people to ensure a diversity of voices, reach young people within and beyond youth organisations and youth with fewer opportunities, thereby using a variety of traditional and digital channels.
