European Youth Together
The European Youth Together program, an Erasmus+ Key Action 3 initiative, aims to empower young people across Europe through transnational partnerships. It fosters networks that enable youth to launch joint projects, participate in exchanges, and receive training, enhancing their democratic engagement and promoting sustainable living. This program uniquely merges policy development with grassroots youth action to address contemporary challenges.
Who is Funded
The European Youth Together program is designed for non-governmental organizations and public bodies committed to fostering youth engagement and collaboration across Europe. It specifically targets transnational partnerships involving youth from EU Member States and associated third countries, with a primary objective to enhance democratic participation, social inclusion, and sustainable lifestyles among young people.
What is Funded
The program supports a diverse range of projects focused on policy development, youth empowerment, and societal challenges, primarily through lump sum grants. Eligible activities involve creating networks, organizing youth exchanges, and offering non-formal training. The projects typically target capacity building, awareness campaigns, and direct service delivery within the youth sector, though specific cost rules are detailed in the official Call Document.
