Deadline: 30 April 2020
The Erasmus+ UK National Agency is accepting applications for its 2020 Youth Dialogue Funding Program (Round-II).
Erasmus+ is open to organisations across all sectors of education, training, youth and sport. Any public, private or not-for-profit organisation actively involved in these areas may apply for funding.
The overall programme objectives are to:
- boost skills and employability;
- modernise education, training and youth work;
- focus on young people
Phases
Youth Dialogue project has three phases:
- planning and preparation;
- implementation of the activities;
- evaluation (including reflection on a possible follow-up)
Activities
Projects can last between three and 24 months and do not need a partner from another country unless transnational meetings are organised. Young people should lead the activities in all stages of the project from preparation to follow-up.
Typical activities include:
- meetings, events, seminars, debates and discussions;
- meetings and seminars linked to official EU Presidency Youth Conferences;
- events and debates linked to the European Youth Week;
- consultation, including online opinions polls and surveys; and
- events that mirror the workings of democratic institutions at local and national levels, and encourage young people’s direct participation.
Funding Information
All Erasmus+ projects are co-funded and Erasmus+ grants will not cover all costs – the grant is intended to be a contribution towards the costs of project implementation and mobility activities. Projects are usually delivered and reported using only a pre-financing payment or an advance. The UK National Agency can make a grant offer on the basis of either pre-financing covered by a financial guarantee, pre-financing in several instalments, or a grant offer without pre-financing.
Please note, a formal financial capacity check does not apply to public bodies or international organisations, or where the grant request is less than 60,000 EUR.
Eligibility Criteria
- Young participants: young people aged between 13 and 30 who reside in the countries involved in the project.
- Decision-makers: if the project foresees the participation of decision-makers or experts in the youth policy field, these participants can be involved regardless of their age and geographical provenance.
- Minimum 30 young participants must be involved in the project. Participants from the country of the receiving organisation must be involved in each activity.
- National activities: the activity must take place in the country of the applicant organisation. Transnational/international activities: the activities may take place in any of the Programme Countries involved in the activity.
- Exception: Only in duly justified cases and if the main activity includes elements of dialogue with decision-makers at European level, an activity can take place at the seat of an Institution of the European Union.
