Deadline: 30-Oct-20
The Office of the Government of the Slovak Republic as the Programme Operator for the Local Development and Inclusion Programme has launched the Open Call LDI01 which main ambition is to support projects enhancing access of vulnerable children and youth in disadvantaged areas to a broader range of extracurricular activities to improve their personal development and provide them with skills increasing their chances to succeed in society.
The programme seeks to strengthen social and economic cohesion in Slovakia. The applicant (usually a municipality) should have a clear and coherent vision of working with children and youth on a given territory, thus in every supported project, a wider range of measures, activities, centres and institutions working with children and youth is expected. This vision, or strategy, does not necessarily need to be materialised in an official document, yet it has to be sufficiently described in the Project Application and shall respect the needs of the community. Special attention must be paid to vulnerable children and youth at high risk of exclusion, such as Roma.
- The aim of the call is to support projects enhancing access of vulnerable children and youth in disadvantaged areas to a broader range of extracurricular activities to improve their personal development and provide them with skills increasing their chances to succeed in society.

Youth centre shall mean any institution (schools, school facilities, leisure-time centres, sports clubs, libraries, health centres and even less institutionalised types of centres) working with children and youth.
