The specific action will aim to raise the capacity of organisations working with young people (outside formal learning) to promote non-formal learning activities in Partner countries, especially targeting young people with fewer opportunities, with the view to improving the level of competences and the active participation of young people in society. Additionally, the Call aims to support the development of youth work in Partner countries as well as to foster the development, testing and launching of schemes and programmes of non-formal learning mobility in Partner countries. Lastly, the Call is important to foster cooperation and exchange across different regions of the world through joint initiatives, enhancing synergies and complementarities with formal education systems and/or the labour market.

Proposals should focus on one or more of the following thematic areas:

• political participation and dialogue with decision-makers
• inclusion of young people with fewer opportunities
• democracy, rule of law and values
• empowerment / engagement / employability of young people
• peace and post-conflict reconciliation
•  environment and climate
• anti-discrimination and gender equality
• digital and entrepreneurial skills

The activities proposed, must correspond to one or more of the thematic areas listed above and they must be detailed in a project description covering the entire implementation period.

While writing proposals, the horizontal priorities of the Erasmus+ programme must also be taken into consideration and these are:

• Inclusion and Diversity
• Environmental sustainability and action against climate change
• Digitisation
• Common values, civic engagement and participation

Τhe proposal will be considered as highly relevant if it addresses the priority “inclusion and diversity”.
