The British Embassy in Bucharest invites project proposals to promote education on consent amongst Romanian youth.
This is part of a wider British Embassy portfolio of projects seeking to support efforts to improve the rights of women and girls in Romania, alongside a multi-year programme of projects on Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking.
Objective
- To improve young people’s understanding of consent, including, but not limited to consent in a relationship
- To improve young people’s understanding of how a lack of consent or manipulated consent can constitute abuse in different circumstances; including violence and sexual assault, but also other forms of coercive control and abuse.
Scope of Work
- The project should have a national reach, where possible, but they will consider targeted pilot projects. It should also look to build long-lasting resources to be utilised beyond the immediate life of the project.
Funding Information
- Grant applications must include an estimated budget of at least 48,500 RON.
Eligible Activities
- It is essential that the project implementer builds effective relationships to secure buy in at a policy and operational level for this project to be successful. Potential activities could include:
- Training for teachers in high schools on consent education
- Creating an online guide that explains the principles of consent and that can be easily accessed by students
- Educational sessions for high school students on consent
- Campaigns targeting young people, promoting consent
- Pilot projects that can be used as an evidence base to promote further education on consent.
Project Approach
- British Embassy Bucharest will approve project proposals. This proposal will form the basis for project planning. The proposal should set out how the implementing partner will deliver activities to support the objectives set out above with an implementation plan and supporting activity based budget. British Embassy Bucharest will oversee the project planning and provide the necessary contacts to the implementers, including as required with Romanian authorities.
- The project implementer will manage project logistics and is expected to consider the pandemic context and its possible impact on the project implementation when submitting the bid.
The Embassy will provide contact persons and focal points for UK institutions or experts that might be needed in the process, including on UK policy on education on consent.
Reporting
- The reports to be produced during the course of this project are to be delivered in English:
- An inception note detailing approach and proposed activities. This should also set out key stakeholders who will be engaged, a proposed schedule of activities, risks, safeguarding approach and any additional details, including a communications plan
- A draft report
- Three monthly financial reports
- After a facilitated process of commenting, the final report
