European Youth Together

1. The first sub-action targets youth organisations at grassroots level which want to establish partnerships across borders, i.e. which aim at adding a European dimension to their activities. The purpose is to encourage new applications from organisations that are not already well established at European level.
2. The second sub-action is the large-scale partnerships action. It targets youth organisations, which have the capacity to work together in large-scale partnerships.

Specific Objectives

• The promotion and development of more structured cooperation, online and offline, between different youth organisations to build or strengthen partnerships focusing on solidarity and inclusive democratic participation
• The implementation of EU Frameworks and initiatives
• To encourage young people to participate in the democratic process and in society by organising trainings, showcase commonalities among young Europeans and encourage discussion and debate on their connection to the EU, its values and democratic foundations, including by providing a meaningful voice to youth in the framework of the Covid-19 recovery process
• Promote participation of under-represented groups of young people in politics, youth organisations and other civil society organisations by engaging vulnerable and socioeconomic disadvantaged youth.
• New ways to empower youth organisations in dealing with the Covid-19 pandemic and its aftermath
• The reinforcement of the European dimension of the activities of youth organisations, including activities on how to live better together after the pandemic and helping to design sustainable future ways of living transnationally.
