Capacity Building in the field of Youth in South Mediterranean Countries
This grant aims to improve the capacity of youth organisations, particularly in eligible South Mediterranean countries, to contribute to the 'Engage-Connect-Empower' priorities of the EU Youth Strategy 2019-2027 and related initiatives. It supports international cooperation and non-formal learning to foster sustainable socio-economic development, upskill young people, encourage their involvement in democratic life, promote innovative practices, and ensure inclusion, accessibility, and digital outreach. The programme pursues the development and expansion of youth work, the strengthening of partnerships between EU-based and South Mediterranean youth organisations, the enhancement of learning methods, and dissemination of results to broaden impact and job opportunities.
