Call for proposals - EACEA/20/07 - Youth in Action - Action 4.1 - Support for bodies active at European level in the field of youth
This call for proposals concerns Action 4.1. of the 'Youth in Action' Programme and its purpose is to provide support for the permanent activities of bodies active at European level in the field of youth and pursuing an aim which is of general European interest.
These activities must help encourage young people to participate as citizens in public life, in society and in the development and implementation of European co-operation actions in the broadly defined field of youth.
This call for proposals corresponds to the grants to be awarded fo 2008
It provides for two types of agreement:
- partnership framework agreement: bodies that wish to enter into long-term co-operation with the Agency are asked to file an application for a three-year partnership framework agreement
- annual operating agreement: those bodies that prefer not to commit themselves in the long term under a partnership agreement may apply for an operating grant
The Education, Audivisual and Culture Executive Agency is responsible for implementing this call for proposals.
To be eligible for an operating grant, a body must:
- be non-governmental
- have legally established for at least one year in the case of annual operating agreements at the time of applying and for at least four years in the case of partnership framework agreements at the time of applying
- be a youth organisation or one having a broader scope but including a section dedicated to youth
- involve young people in managing activities developed with them in mind
- have at least one (salaried or non-salaried) permanent member of staff. An exception is granted to bodies that have never received grants under this action and that intend to employ a permanent member of staff if this grant is awarded
Final date for applications
Applications for a three-year partnership framework agreement and applications for an annual operating grant for 2008 must be sent to the Agency by 31 October 2007 at the latest
