The objective of this Youth in Action Programme’s call for proposals is to support partnership projects with regional or local public bodies (i.e. regions, municipalities, etc.) or with organisations active in the youth sector at European level, which intend to develop or reinforce their long-term actions, strategies and programmes in the field of non-formal learning and youth.

- encourage their involvement in European youth and non-formal education activities,
- support their capacity building as bodies active in the youth field providing non-formal education opportunities to young people and youth workers,
- promote the development of sustainable networks, the exchange of best practices as well as the recognition of non-formal education.

This call for proposals will support the development of an activity programme combining one or more of the following activities taking inspiration from the Youth in Action Programme:
- Trans-national Youth Exchanges
- National or Trans-national Youth Initiative
- European Voluntary Service
-Training and Networking Partnerships

Preference will be given to partnership projects which best reflect the permanent priorities of the Youth in Action Programme:
- participation of young people,
- cultural diversity,
- European citizenship,
- inclusion of young people with fewer opportunities.
Furthermore, preference will be given to well structured projects which are framed within a longer-term perspective and planned with a view to achieve a multiplying effect and a sustainable impact.

The budget available located to the co-financing of partnership projects under this call for proposals of the Youth in Action Programme is estimated at 1.200.000 euro.
