The European Commission co-finances information measures relating to the common agricultural policy (CAP) that aim, in particular, at building trust within the EU and among all citizens, farmers and non-farmers alike. The common agricultural policy (CAP) is a policy for all the citizens of the EU and the benefits that it provides to them must be clearly demonstrated.

Objectives
The general objective of the call is to build trust within the EU and amongst all citizens, farmers and non-farmers alike and to promote information about the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) (i.e. the policy and its benefits for the citizens of the EU).
 
Themes
The CAP plays a key role in supporting the EU’s farming sector and rural areas. It aims to ensure a sustainable agriculture with respect to economic, social and environmental aspects. In the framework of the European Green Deal, the Commission adopted a Farm to fork strategy, a Biodiversity strategy and the Organic action plan, all of which address issues relevant to agriculture and rural areas.

The proposals submitted:
- must provide coherent, objective and comprehensive information, both inside and outside the EU, in order to give an accurate overall picture of the CAP;
- the focus should be on addressing misperceptions and disinformation about European agriculture and the CAP, using facts and backed up with data with a view to raising public awareness on the relevance of EU support to agriculture and rural development through the CAP.

Activities
The information measures should include one or several activities such as:
- production and distribution of multimedia or audiovisual material;
- web and social media outreach activities;
- media events;
- conferences, seminars, workshops and studies on CAP-related issues.

Target public:
- rgeneral public (with particular attention to young people in urban areas) and/or farmers and other parties active in rural areas.

More specifically:
- For school children, teachers and university students: novel approaches should be used to engage with young people and raise their awareness of the CAP and the contribution that it makes in many areas such as the climate change challenge, food, healthy and high quality eating as a lifestyle choice, in relation also with the EU School Scheme for Milk, Fruit and Vegetables and the Tartu Call.
- For stakeholders: it should be ensured that there is greater awareness of the contribution that the CAP makes to support the social, environmental and economic sustainability of agriculture.

Budget
Total budget earmarked for the co-financing of activities is estimated at EUR 4 000 000. 
The grant amount will be minimum EUR 75 000 and maximum EUR 500 000.

Who can apply
Legal entities (public or private bodies) established in an EU Member State (including overseas countries and territories (OCTs).
The could be farmers or rural development organisations, European associations, non-governmental organisations, public authorities of the Member States, media companies, educational institutions, universities and research centers.
International organisations are eligible. The rules on eligible countries do not apply to them.

Deadline: 25 January 2022, 17:00 CET.

Under this action, organisations and informal groups of young people can receive support to carry out projects bringing together young people from different countries to exchange and learn outside their formal educational system.

"Youth Exchanges" is an opportunity allowing groups of young people between 13 and 30 years old, from at least two different countries to meet and live together for up to 21 days. 
Youth exchanges are managed by youth organisations, informal groups of young people or other organisations.

During a Youth Exchange participants, supported by group leaders, jointly carry out a work programme (a mix of workshops, exercises, debates, role-plays, simulations, outdoor activities) designed and prepared by them before the Exchange.
The aim is to make young people develop competences, become aware of socially relevant topics/thematic areas, discover new cultures, habits and lifestyles, mainly through peer-learning, strengthen values like solidarity, democracy, friendship.
The learning process in Youth Exchanges is triggered by methods of non-formal education. A Youth Exchange can also be a good setting for discussing and learning about inclusion and diversity issues.
Youth Exchanges are based on transnational cooperation between two or more participating organisations from different countries within and outside the European Union.

Eligible participating organisations:

Who can apply

• Activités éducatives, sociales, culturelles et humanitaires ayant un caractère européen

• Activités visant à renforcer la paix et la coopération en Europe

• Activités conçues pour promouvoir une coopération rapprochée et une meilleure compréhension entre les jeunes d'Europe, notamment par le développement des échanges d'information

• Activités visant à stimuler l’entraide en Europe et dans les pays en développement dans les domaines de la culture, de l'éducation et du social

• Études, recherche et documentation sur les questions de jeunesse

The European Commission call for proposals EACEA 33/2019  aims to support the establishment and development of transnational cooperation platforms of Centres of Vocational Excellence (CoVEs) to connect Centres operating in a given local context at European level.
The transnational cooperation platforms will bring together CoVEs that: 
- Share a common interest in specific sectors or trades (e.g. aeronautics, e-mobility, healthcare, tourism, etc.), or
- Develop together innovative approaches to tackle societal, technological and economic challenges (e.g. climate change, digitalisation, artificial intelligence, sustainable development goals, integration of migrants, supporting learners with disabilities/special needs, upskilling people with low skills and/or low qualification levels, etc.)

The platforms will create world-class reference points for vocational training. They will be inclusive and either bring together existing CoVEs in different countries, or expand the model by linking well-established CoVEs in one country with partners in other countries, that intend to develop CoVEs in their local eco-system, thus contributing to ‘upward convergence’ of VET excellence.
The CoVEs will adopt a bottom-up approach to excellence where VET institutions are capable of rapidly adapting skills provision to evolving local needs. They aim to bring together a set of local/regional partners such as initial and continuing VET providers, tertiary education institutions including universities of applied sciences and polytechnics, research institutions, science parks, companies, social enterprises, chambers and their associations, social partners, sectoral skills councils, professional/sector associations, national and regional authorities and development agencies, public employment services, etc.


Projects must provide evidence that they aim to:
- Establish strong and enduring relationships at both local and transnational levels, between the VET community and businesses, in which interactions are reciprocal and mutually beneficial, and
- Integrate activities, build reflexive relationships between the various activities and services, and
- Be firmly anchored into wider frameworks of regional development, innovation and/or smart specialisation strategies. These can be either existing strategies or being developed in the context of the project (describing how the project contributes to those strategies).

 

Partnerships
The partnership shall include at least eight full partners from a minimum of four Erasmus+ Programme countries (including at least two Member States of the European Union).
Each country must involve:
- at least one company, industry or sector representatives (e.g. chambers or trade associations), and
- at least one vocational education and training provider (at secondary and/or tertiary level.
One of the partners above will be the coordinating organisation, applying for the Erasmus+ grant on behalf of the partnership.
 

The Erasmus+ Programme countries are the following:
- The 28 Member States of the European Union: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, the United Kingdom;
- The non EU Programme countries: Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, Republic of North Macedonia, Serbia, Turkey.

For British applicants: Please be aware that eligibility criteria must be complied with for the entire duration of the grant. If the United Kingdom withdraws from the EU during the grant period without concluding an agreement with the EU ensuring in particular that British applicants continue to be eligible, you will cease to receive EU funding (while continuing, where possible, to participate) or be required to leave the project on the basis of the Article II.17.3.1(a) of the grant agreement.

Activities
Activities must start on 1 October 2020 or 1 November 2020. The duration of the projects is 4 years.
The project must include relevant deliverables linked to:
- at least 3 activities related to Cluster1 - Teaching and learning, and
- at least 3 activities related to Cluster2 - Cooperation and partnership, and
- at least 3 activities related to Cluster3 - Governance and funding.

Projects are required to apply EU wide instruments and tools whenever relevant.
They should also aim to adopt an inclusive dimension, by including actions that help address diversity and promote – in particular through innovative and integrated approaches – ownership of shared values, equality, including gender equality, and non-discrimination and social inclusion, including for people with special needs/fewer opportunities.
A particular focus will be on digital skills as they are increasingly important on all job profiles across the entire labour market, as well as skills to support the transition to a circular and greener economy to meet emerging professional needs for green skills and sustainable development.

Budget
The total budget earmarked for the co-financing of projects is estimated at a maximum of 20 million euros.
Financial contribution from the EU cannot exceed 80% of the total eligible costs.
The maximum EU grant per project is 4 million euros.

Deadline: 20 February 2020, 17.00 (Brussels time).

L'appel à propositions EACEA 33/2019 de la Commission européenne vise à soutenir la mise en oeuvre et le développement de plateformes de coopération transnationale de centres d'excellence professionnelle (CoVE) pour relier les centres opérant dans un contexte local donné au niveau européen.

Les plateformes de coopération transnationale réuniront des CoVE qui : 

• Partagent un intérêt commun pour des secteurs ou des métiers spécifiques (par exemple, l'aéronautique, la mobilité électronique, les soins de santé, le tourisme, etc.), ou
• Développent ensemble des approches innovantes pour relever des défis sociétaux, technologiques et économiques (par exemple, le changement climatique, la numérisation, l'intelligence artificielle, les objectifs de développement durable, l'intégration des migrants, l'aide aux apprenants handicapés ou ayant des besoins spécifiques, l'amélioration des compétences des personnes peu qualifiées et/ou à faible niveau de qualification, etc.)

Les plateformes créeront des points de référence de classe mondiale pour la formation professionnelle. Elles seront inclusives et rassembleront des CoVE existantes dans différents pays, ou élargiront le modèle en reliant des CoVE bien établies dans un pays à des partenaires d'autres pays, qui ont l'intention de développer des CoVE dans leur écosystème local, contribuant ainsi à la "convergence vers le haut" de l'excellence de l'EFP.

Les CoVE adopteront une approche ascendante de l'excellence, dans laquelle les établissements d'EFP sont capables d'adapter rapidement l'offre de compétences à l'évolution des besoins locaux. Ils visent à réunir un ensemble de partenaires locaux/régionaux tels que les prestataires d'EFP initial et continu, les établissements d'enseignement supérieur, y compris les universités de sciences appliquées et les écoles polytechniques, les instituts de recherche, les parcs scientifiques, les entreprises, les entreprises sociales, les chambres et leurs associations, les partenaires sociaux, les conseils sectoriels de compétences, les associations professionnelles/sectorielles, les autorités nationales et régionales et les agences de développement, les services publics de l'emploi, etc.

Les projets doivent apporter la preuve qu'ils visent à :

• Etablir des relations solides et durables, tant au niveau local que transnational, entre la communauté de l'EFP et les entreprises, dans lesquelles les interactions sont réciproques et mutuellement bénéfiques, et
• Intégrer les activités, établir des relations réflexives entre les différentes activités et services, et
• Etre fermement ancrées dans des cadres plus larges de stratégies de développement régional, d'innovation et/ou de spécialisation intelligente. Il peut s'agir de stratégies existantes ou en cours d'élaboration dans le contexte du projet (en décrivant comment le projet contribue à ces stratégies).

Partenariats
Le partenariat doit comprendre au moins huit partenaires à part entière provenant d'un minimum de quatre pays du programme Erasmus+ (dont au moins deux États membres de l'Union européenne).

Chaque pays doit impliquer :

Town twinning is aimed at activities that involve or promote direct exchanges between European citizens through their participation in town twinning activities and encourage networking and cooperation between twinned towns. The measure Town twinning is the first Measure of the Strand 2. Democratic engagement and civic participation within the within the"Europe for Citizens 2014-2020 programme. This strand aims to foster European citizenship and improve conditions for civic and democratic participation at EU level, to encourage democratic participation of citizens at EU level and to support concrete participation in the EU policy-making process.

Strand 2. Democratic engagement and civic participation is directed at activities covering civic participation, focusing in particular on European Union policies.Initiatives developing opportunities for mutual understanding, intercultural learning, solidarity, societal engagement and volunteering at EU level. 
 

Volunteering is an essential element in active citizenship: by giving one’s time for the benefit of others, volunteers service their community and play an active role in society. They develop the sense of belonging to a community thereby also gaining ownership. Volunteering is therefore a particularly powerful means to develop citizens’ commitment to their society and to its political life. Civil society organisations, associations of a European general interest, town twinning associations and other participating organisations often rely on volunteer work to carry out and to develop their activities. Therefore, particular attention is paid to the promotion of volunteering, in particular through the European Solidarity Corps.
In its first phase, the European Solidarity Corps, the new EU initiative which aims at giving young people across the EU the opportunity to volunteer where help is needed and to respond to crisis situations, will build on existing EU programmes including the Europe for Citizens programme. In this context, project promoters are encouraged to make use of the European Solidarity Corps. 
Promoters making use of members of the European Solidarity Corps must comply with the requirements laid down by the European Solidarity Corps Charter, including the requirement relating to the insurance of the members. Indeed, within the framework of the Europe for Citizens Programme, the Agency does not provide directly or indirectly an insurance coverage to the volunteers/members used by the promoters for their projects. It is therefore for each promoter to ensure that the volunteers/members they are making use of are properly insured for their activities. 
All the eligible countries within the Europe for Citizens programme can participate to the European Solidarity Corps initiative.

The Jean Monnet Teacher Trainings aim to support schools and VET providers in planning, organising and delivering EU content in their curricular and extra-curricular activities.

Teachers and trainers are keen to engage in opportunities for their own professional development; a significant number of teachers express the need to expand their competences for developing an inclusive classroom atmosphere using Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), and teaching in multilingual and multicultural classrooms. They also need opportunities for professional expansion regarding the European dimension of teaching at school, in particular on teaching about the European Union in engaging ways. 

The overall objective is to promote a better understanding, both in general education and vocational training (ISCED 1 – 4), of the European Union and the functioning of its Institutions.

Activities supported

Jean Monnet “Teacher Trainings” must respect one of the following forms: 

• training about teaching methodologies in order to address European Union matters;
• training on European Union matters; 
• learning experiences on European Union subjects which complement already existing courses (collaborative learning among classes, co-teaching);
• seminars, summer and intensive courses, other kinds of EU experiences involving other stakeholders.

The project should last three years.
 

Maximum grant award: EUR 300,000.

L'azione "Formazione degli insegnanti" Jean Monnet intende sostenere le scuole e gli erogatori di IFP nella pianificazione, organizzazione ed erogazione di contenuti relativi all'UE nelle loro attività curriculari ed extracurriculari. 

Insegnanti e formatori sono interessati a prendere parte a opportunità per il loro sviluppo professionale; un numero  significativo di insegnanti manifesta l'esigenza di ampliare le proprie competenze per creare un ambiente didattico  inclusivo, utilizzando le tecnologie dell'informazione e della comunicazione (TIC) e insegnando in classi multilingui e  multiculturali. Essi necessitano inoltre di opportunità di crescita professionale in relazione alla dimensione europea  dell'insegnamento nelle scuole, in particolare per trasmettere insegnamenti sull'Unione europea in modo coinvolgente.

L'obiettivo generale consiste nel promuovere una migliore comprensione dell'Unione europea e del funzionamento delle sue istituzioni sia nell'istruzione generale che nella formazione professionale (livelli ISCED 1-4).

L'azione "Formazione degli insegnanti" Jean Monnet deve assumere una delle forme seguenti: 
-formazione sulle metodologie di insegnamento per affrontare le materie relative all'Unione Europea;
-formazione sulle materie relative all'Unione europea; 
-esperienze di apprendimento di materie relative all'Unione europea a complemento di corsi già esistenti  (apprendimento collaborativo tra classi, insegnamento congiunto);
-seminari, corsi estivi e intensivi, altri tipi di esperienze in materie relative all'UE che coinvolgono altri portatori  di interessi.

Il progetto deve avere una durata di tre anni.

Il contributo massimo dell'UE per progetto è 300 000 EUR.

The strand1. European remembrance projects within the Europe for Citizens' 2014-2020 programme supports activities fostering a common culture of remembrance and mutual understanding between citizens from different EU Member States, notably by supporting projects that reflect on historical turning points and changes in regimes in Europe's 20th century and on their continuous importance for the Europe of today.

The strand also concerns other defining moments and reference points in recent European history. Preference will be given to projects encouraging tolerance, mutual understanding, intercultural dialogue and reconciliation as a means of moving beyond the past and building the future, in particular with a view to reaching the younger generation. It will also support projects promoting the role of Europe's cultural heritage as a pivotal element of cultural diversity, and intercultural dialogue and local heritage linked to European memory.

In 2020, specific priorities for European Remembrance are:
- 1950 Robert Schuman Declaration;
- 1990 German reunification and democratic transition of other countries in Europe;
- 2000 Proclamation of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights.

Volunteering is an essential element in active citizenship: by giving one’s time for the benefit of others, volunteers service their community and play an active role in society. They develop the sense of belonging to a community thereby also gaining ownership. Volunteering is therefore a particularly powerful means to develop citizens’ commitment to their society and to its political life. Civil society organisations, associations of a European general interest, town twinning associations and other participating organisations often rely on volunteer work to carry out and to develop their activities. Therefore, particular attention is paid to the promotion of volunteering, in particular through the European Solidarity Corps. In its first phase, the European Solidarity Corps, the new EU initiative which aims at giving young people across the EU the opportunity to volunteer where help is needed and to respond to crisis situations, will build on existing EU programmes including the Europe for Citizens programme. In this context, project promoters are encouraged to make use of the European Solidarity Corps. 
Promoters making use of members of the European Solidarity Corps must comply with the requirements laid down by the European Solidarity Corps Charter, including the requirement relating to the insurance of the members. Indeed, within the framework of the Europe for Citizens Programme, the Agency does not provide directly or indirectly an insurance coverage to the volunteers/members used by the promoters for their projects. It is therefore for each promoter to ensure that the volunteers/members they are making use of are properly insured for their activities. 
All the eligible countries within the Europe for Citizens programme can participate to the European Solidarity Corps initiative.

Projects under this strand should
- Include different types of organisations (local authorities, NGOs, research institutes etc.)
- Develop different types of activities (research, exhibitions, public debates, non-formal education etc.)
- Involve citizens from different target groups
- Be implemented on a transnational level, or with a clear European dimension

Eligible applicants must be:
-  public local/regional authorities or non-profit organisations, including civil society organisations, survivors' associations, and cultural, youth, educational and research
organisations, associations of twinned towns.
Number of Partners:
A project must involve organisations from at least one Member State. Preference is given to transnational projects.

Maximum eligible grant for a project: 100 000 EUR.
The activities must take place in any of the eligible countries.
The project must start within the relevant eligibility period.

For British applicants: please be aware that eligibility criteria must be complied with for the entire duration of the grant. If the United Kingdom withdraws from the EU during the grant period without concluding an agreement with the EU ensuring in particular that British applicants continue to be eligible, British applicants will cease to receive EU funding (while continuing, where possible, to participate) or be required to leave the project.

The Programme is potentially open to the following categories of countries provided that they have signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Commission:
a) acceding countries, candidate countries and potential candidates, in accordance with the general principles and general terms and conditions for the participation of those countries in Union programmes established in the respective Framework Agreements, Association Council Decisions or similar Agreements;
