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. 
The following countries ONLY can participate to the initiative within the Programme: the European Union Member States and the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia.

Organisations active in the fields of education, training and youth receive support from the Erasmus+ Programme to carry out projects promoting different types of mobility.
The Mobility project for higher education students includes the following activities:

1. Student mobility for studies: a study period abroad at a partner higher education institution (HEI).
The study period should respond to student degree-related learning and personal development needs.
It must be part of the student's study programme to complete a degree at a short cycle, first cycle (Bachelor or equivalent), second cycle (Master or equivalent) and third or doctoral cycle.
A study period abroad may also include a traineeship period.
Student mobility can be in any subject area or academic discipline.

2. Student mobility for traineeships (work placement): a work placement abroad in an enterprise or any other relevant workplace.
The traineeships abroad at a workplace should be an integrated part of the student's study programme and supported during short cycle, first, second, third cycle studies and in the case of mobility within Programme Countries, within a maximum of one year after the student’s graduation.
This also includes the 'assistantships' for student teachers.

Wherever possible, the traineeships should be an integrated part of the student's study programme. 

In order to better support students to acquire the skills necessary for their future, a partnership between the Erasmus+ and Horizon 2020 programmes has been established.
This partnership will provide and promote further traineeship opportunities for students and recent graduates who wish to acquire digital skills and competences required to perform jobs and thrive in an economy and society which is being continuously digitally transformed. Students and recent graduates from all disciplines are invited to apply for a traineeship in these domains. These traineeships are expected to take place in the EU Member States as well as in Horizon 2020 associated countries.

Organizațiile active în domeniile educației, formării și tineretului pot primi sprijin prin Programul Erasmus+ pentru a realiza proiecte de promovare a diferitelor tipuri de mobilitate.

Proiectul de mobilitate pentru studenți cuprinde următoarele activități:

1. Mobilitatea studenților pentru studiu: o perioadă de studiu în străinătate la o instituție de învățământ superior parteneră (IIS).

Perioada de studiu trebuie să răspundă nevoii studentului de învățare și de dezvoltare personală. Aceasta trebuie să fie parte a programului de studiu al studentului pentru a finaliza un ciclu de învățământ scurt, primul ciclu (licență sau echivalent), al doilea ciclu (master sau echivalent) și al treilea, ciclul doctoral. O perioadă de studiu în străinătate poate include, de asemenea, o perioadă de stagiu.

Mobilitatea studenților poate avea loc în orice domeniu sau disciplină academică.

2. Mobilitatea studenților pentru stagii (periodă de practică): o perioadă de practică în străinătate într-o întreprindere sau orice alt loc de muncă relevant. Stagiile de practică în străinătate la un loc de muncă ar trebui să fie o parte integrantă a programului de studii al studentului și să fie sprijinite în cadrul ciclului scurt, primul, al doilea, al treilea ciclu de studii și în cazul mobilității în cadrul țărilor participante la program în termen de maximum un an de la absolvire. Această mobilitate poate include, de asemenea, ore de asistență pentru viitoarele cadre didactice. De asemenea, acestea includ “stagiile de asistență pentru viitoarele cadre didactice”.

Ori de câte ori este posibil, stagiile ar trebui să fie o parte integrantă a programului de studiu.

Pentru a-i sprijini mai bine pe studenți în dobândirea competențelor necesare pentru viitorul lor, s-a creat un parteneriat între programele Erasmus+ și Orizont 2020.

Acest parteneriat va furniza și promova viitoare oportunități de stagiu pentru studenți și proaspeți absolvenți care doresc să dobândească competențe digitale și competențele necesare pentru a desfășura o activitate profesională și a avea succes într-o economie și o societate care sunt supuse în permanență transformărilor digitale. Studenții și proaspeții absolvenți, indiferent de disciplina academică, sunt invitați să candideze pentru un stagiu în aceste domenii. Aceste stagii de practică trebuie să se desfășoare în state membre ale UE și în țări asociate la programul Orizont 2020. Ori de câte ori este posibil, stagiile ar trebui să fie o parte integrantă a programului de studiu al studenților.

Organizațiile active în domeniile educației, formării și tineretului primesc sprijin prin programul Erasmus+ pentru a realiza proiecte de promovare a diferitelor tipuri de mobilitate.

Ce fel de proiecte
“Schimburile de tineri” reprezintă oportunități care permit grupurilor de tineri cu vârsta cuprinsă între 13 și 30 de ani, din cel puțin două țări diferite să se întâlnească și să petreacă timp împreună pentru o perioadă de până la 21 de zile.

Schimburile de tineri sunt gestionate de organizații de tineret, grupuri informale de tineri sau alte organizații.

În timpul unui schimb de tineri, sprijinit de liderii de grup, participanții efectuează împreună un program de lucru (o combinație de ateliere de lucru, exerciții, dezbateri, jocuri de rol, simulări, activități în aer liber etc.) proiectate și pregătite de ei înșiși anterior schimbului.

Schimburile de tineri le permit acestora: să dezvolte competențe; să devină conștienți de subiecte/domenii tematice relevante din punct de vedere social; să descopere noi culturi, obiceiuri și stiluri de viață, în special prin învățare reciprocă; să consolideze valori precum solidaritatea, democrația, prietenia.

Procesul de învățare în schimburile de tineri este declanșat prin metode de educație nonformală.

Un schimb de tineri poate fi, de asemenea, un cadru bun pentru a discuta și a învăța despre aspecte legate de incluziune și diversitate.

Schimburile de tineri se bazează pe cooperarea transnațională între două sau mai multe organizații participante din diferite țări din interiorul și din afara Uniunii Europene.

Az oktatás, képzés és ifjúság területén tevékenykedő szervezetek különféle mobilitási projektek megvalósításához az Erasmus+ Program támogatásában részesülnek.

Mire vonatkozik a kezdeményezés?

Az ifjúsági csere olyan lehetőség, amely által a különböző országokból érkező 13 és 30 év közötti fiatalok találkozhatnak és megoszthatják egymással tapasztalataikat, mindezt maximum 21 nap keretében. A fiatalok csoportjai az együttműködés során a résztvevők által az eseményt megelőzően összeállított munkaprogramot követnek (workshopok, feladatok, viták, szerepjátékok, szimulációk, szabadtéri tevékenységek). A cserék célja, hogy a fiatalok fejlesszék különböző kompetenciáikat; az egymástól való tanulásnak köszönhetően fontos társadalmi témákkal, új kultúrákkal és szokásokkal ismerkedjenek meg; valamint olyan értékeket sajátítsanak el, mint a szolidaritás, a demokrácia és a szabadság elve. Az ifjúsági cserék nemzetközi együttműködés révén valósulnak meg, amelyekben EU-s és egyes nem uniós tagállamok szervezetei  is részt vehetnek (a partnerséghez legalább két ország részvétele  szükséges).

A mobilitási projektben az alábbi szervezetek vehetnek részt:

• nonprofit szervezet, egyesület, NGO;
• európai ifjúsági civil szervezet;
• társadalmi vállalkozás;
• közintézmény;
• ifjúsági munkával foglalkozó fiatalok csoportja, akik nem kizárólag ifjúsági szervezetek tagjai lehetnek (pl. fiatalok informális csoportjaiból is érkezhetnek);
• szervezetek

Kik pályázhatnak?

• regionális vagy országos közintézmények
• régiók egyesülete
• az Európai Területi Együttműködési Csoportosulás
• vállalati társadalmi felelősség területén dolgozó profit alapú szervek
• bármely, a programban részt vevő országban létesült szervezet beadhatja jelentkezését.
  A jelentkezést benyújtó szervezet a projektben  részt vevő valamennyi szervezet nevében jelentkezik.

Az adott mobilitási tevékenységet legalább két különböző ország két (egy fogadó és egy küldő) szervezetének kell megvalósítania.

Amennyiben az ifjúsági mobilitási projekt csupán egyetlen tevékenységet valósít meg, akkot a koordinátornak küldő és fogadó szervezetként is részt kell vennie. Ha az ifjúsági mobilitási projekt egynél több tevékenységet is megvalósít, akkor a koordinátornak nem kötelező vállalnia mindkét szerepet.

Fontos kitétel, hogy koordinátor nem lehet egy olyan szervezet, amely az Erasmus+-nak csupán partnerországa. 

Tevékenységek a Program országokon belül: minden résztvevő szervezet valamelyik programországban kell, hogy működjön.

Tevékenységek Partner országokkal (EU-val határos országok): a tevékenység legalább egy programországbeli és egy partnerországbeli szervezetet be kell, hogy vonjon.

Pályázásra jogosult országok:

• Az Európai Unió 28 tagállama,
• Nem uniós programországok: Izland, Lirchtenstein, Norvégia, Törökország, Macedónia Volt Jugoszláv Köztársaság, Szerbia
• Az EU-val szomszédos partnerországok: Örményország, Azerbajdzsán, Fehéroroszország, Grúzia, Moldova, a nemzetközi jog szerinti Ukrajna területe, Algéria, Egyiptom, Izrael, Jordánia, Libanon, Líbia, Marokkó, Palesztina, Szíria, Tunézia, Albánia, Bosznia és Hercegovina, Koszovó, Montenegró, Szerbia, a nemzetközi jog szerinti Oroszország területe.

Megvalósítható tevékenységi körök

• Ifjúsági cserék

A projektek időtartama:

• 3-24 hónap

Hova nyújtható be a pályázat?

• A pályázatot benyújtó szervezet alapítási helye szerinti nemzeti irodához.

Határidők:

• 2019. február 12. déli 12 óra (brüsszeli idő szerint), a 2019. május 1-je és szeptember 30-a között induló projektek esetében;
• 2019. április 30. déli 12 óra (brüsszeli idő szerint), a 2019. augusztus 1-je és december 31-e között induló projektek esetében;
• 2019. október 1. déli 12 óra (brüsszeli idő szerint) a 2020. január 1-je és május 31-e között kezdődő projektek esetében.

A program iránt érdeklődők az Erasmus+ program pályázati útmutatójából egyéb kérdéseikre is választ kaphatnak.

Az egyes nemzeti irodák további segítséget nyújtanak.

Lényeges, hogy a pályázni szándékozó egyének vegyék fel a kapcsolatot szervezetükkel, intézményükkel vagy oktatási intézményükkel.

Organisationen, die in den Bereichen allgemeine und berufliche Bildung und Jugend tätig sind, werden vom Erasmus+ Programm unterstützt, um Projekte zur Förderung verschiedener Arten von Mobilität durchzuführen.

"Jugendaustausch" ist eine Gelegenheit, um Gruppen von Jugendlichen zwischen 13 und 30 Jahren aus mindestens zwei verschiedenen Ländern zu treffen und bis zu 21 Tage zusammen zu leben. Der Jugendaustausch wird von Jugendorganisationen, informellen Jugendgruppen oder anderen Organisationen durchgeführt.

Während eines Jugendaustauschs führen die Teilnehmer, unterstützt von Gruppenleitern, gemeinsam ein Arbeitsprogramm aus (eine Mischung aus Workshops, Übungen, Debatten, Rollenspielen, Simulationen und Aktivitäten im Freien), die von ihnen vor dem Austausch entworfen und vorbereitet wurden.
Ziel ist es, junge Menschen dazu zu befähigen, Kompetenzen zu entwickeln, sich für sozial relevante Themen / Themenbereiche zu interessieren, neue Kulturen, Gewohnheiten und Lebensstile zu entdecken, hauptsächlich durch Peer-Learning, Werte wie Solidarität, Demokratie, Freundschaft zu stärken.
Der Lernprozess im Jugendaustausch wird durch Methoden der nichtformalen Bildung ausgelöst. Ein Jugendaustausch kann auch ein guter Ort sein, um Diskussionen über Inklusion und Diversität zu führen.
Der Jugendaustausch basiert auf einer transnationalen Zusammenarbeit zwischen zwei oder mehr teilnehmenden Organisationen aus verschiedenen Ländern innerhalb und außerhalb der Europäischen Union.

Die Teilnahme folgender Organisationen ist förderfähig:
- gemeinnützige Organisation, Verein, NGO;
- Europäische Jugend-NRO;

Network of towns is aimed at providing funding to municipalities and associations working together on a common theme in a long term perspective, and wishing to develop networks of towns to make their cooperation more sustainable.
The measure Network of towns is the second Measure of the Strand 2. Democratic engagement and civic participation within theEurope 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.

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. 
The following countries ONLY can participate to the initiative within the Programme: the European Union Member States and the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia.
 

Thematic networking between municipalities on issues of common interest enables informed discussions and exchange of good practice.
The potential of the networks created by a series of town twinning links should be used for developing thematic and long-lasting cooperation between towns.
The European Commission supports the development of such networks, which are important for ensuring structured, intense and multifaceted cooperation.

2.2 Networks of Towns are expected to
- integrate a range of activities around the subject(s) of common interest to be addressed in the context of the Programme’s objectives or multiannual priorities;
- have defined target groups for which the selected themes are particularly relevant and involve community members active in the subject area (i.e. experts, local associations, citizens and citizens’ groups directly affected by the theme, etc.);
- mobilise citizens across the Europe: a project should involve a minimum of 30% of invited participants. "Invited participants" are international participants sent by the eligible partners;
- serve as a basis for future initiatives and actions between the towns involved, on the issues addressed or possibly on further issues of common interest. 

Projects must
foresee at least four events
involve municipalities from at least four participating countries, of which at least two is an EU Member State
have a minimum of 30% of international participants coming from the invited municipalities
the maximum project duration is 24 months;
the project must start within the relevant eligibility period, which depends on the deadline of the Measure within which the application is submitted.

The maximum grant to be awarded is EUR 150,000 per project.

Eligible applicants
towns/municipalities or their twinning committees or networks;
local and regional authorities;
federation/association of local authorities;
non-profit organisations representing local authorities.

Partners
non-profit civil society organisations.

The applicants and partners must be either public bodies or non-profit organisations with legal personality.
A project must involve municipalities from at least 4 eligible countries of which at least two have to be EU Member States. 

 

Participating countries
28 EU Member States: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, United Kingdom.
- Albania, Bosnia & Herzegovina, former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia and Kosovo.
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;
b) the EFTA countries party to the EEA Agreement, in accordance with the provisions of that Agreement.

Această măsură, “Rețele de orașe”, urmărește să ofere finanțare municipalităților și asociațiilor care lucrează împreună, având o temă comună și cu o perspectivă pe termen lung și care doresc să dezvolte rețele de orașe pentru a face cooperarea lor mai durabilă. Măsura “Reţele de oraşe” reprezintă a doua măsură a Componentei 2 numită Implicarea democratică și participarea civică în cadrul programului Europa pentru cetățeni 2014-2020. Această componentă urmărește să promoveze cetățenia europeană și să îmbunătățească condițiile de participare civică și democratică la nivelul UE, să încurajeze participarea democratică a cetățenilor la nivelul UE și să sprijine participarea concretă la procesul de elaborare a politicilor UE. Voluntariatul este un element esențial al cetățeniei active: prin acordarea de timp în beneficiul altora, prin voluntariat în serviciul comunității și printr-un rol activ jucat în societate. Acesta dezvoltă sentimentul de apartenență la o comunitate, prin urmare, și dobândirea dreptului de proprietate. Voluntariatul este, prin urmare, un mijloc deosebit de puternic de a dezvolta angajamentul cetățenilor față de societate și de viața politică. Organizațiile societății civile, asociațiile de interes general european, asociațiile orașelor înfrățite și alte organizații participante se bazează adesea pe munca voluntară pentru desfășurarea și dezvoltarea activităților lor. Prin urmare, o atenție deosebită este acordată promovării voluntariatului, în special prin intermediul Corpului European de Solidaritate. În prima fază, Corpul European de Solidaritate, noua inițiativă a UE care urmărește să ofere tinerilor din UE oportunitatea de face voluntariat pentru a ajuta acolo unde este nevoie și pentru a răspunde situațiilor de criză. Aceasta se va baza pe programele UE existente, inclusiv pe programul "Europa pentru cetățeni". În acest context, promotorii de proiecte sunt încurajați să folosească baza de date a Corpului European de Solidaritate. Promotorii care decid să aleagă persoane din cadrul Corpului European de Solidaritate trebuie să respecte cerințele stabilite de Carta Corpului European de Solidaritate, inclusiv cerința referitoare la asigurarea acestora. Într-adevăr, în cadrul programului "Europa pentru cetățeni", agenția nu oferă direct sau indirect o asigurare pentru voluntarii aleși de promotori pentru proiectele lor. Prin urmare, fiecare promotor trebuie să se asigure că voluntarii/persoanele cu care lucrează sunt asigurate corespunzător pentru activitățile lor. Laaceastă inițiativă pot participa doar următoarle țări: statele membre UE și Fosta Republică Iugoslavă a Macedoniei. Rețelele tematice între municipalități pe probleme de interes comun permit discuții în cunoștință de cauză și schimburi de bune practici. Potențialul rețelelor create de înfrățirile dintre orașe ar trebui folosit pentru dezvoltarea cooperării tematice și de lungă durată între orașe. Comisia Europeană sprijină dezvoltarea unor astfel de rețele, care sunt importante pentru asigurarea unei cooperări structurate, intense și cu multiple fațete. 2.2 Reţelele de oraşe trebuie: - să integreze o serie de activități în jurul subiectelor de interes comun care trebuie abordate în contextul obiectivelor programului sau al priorităților multianuale; - să aibă definite grupuri țintă pentru care temele selectate sunt deosebit de relevante și implică membri ai comunității activi în domeniul discutat (adică experți, asociații locale, cetățeni și grupuri de cetățeni direct afectați de temă, etc.); - să mobilizeze cetățeni din întreaga Europă: un proiect trebuie să implice un minimum de 30% din participanții invitați. "Participanții invitați" sunt participanți internaționali trimiși de partenerii eligibili; - să servească drept bază pentru viitoarele inițiative și acțiuni între orașele implicate, privind aspectele abordate sau, eventual, alte aspecte de interes comun. Proiectele trebuie: - să prevadă cel puțin patru evenimente; - să implice municipalități din cel puțin patru țări participante, din care cel puțin două sunt din state membre UE; - să aibă un minimum de 30% de participanți internaționali provenind din municipalitățile invitate; - durata maximă a proiectului este de 24 luni; - proiectul trebuie să înceapă în perioada de eligibilitate, care depinde de termenul la care se depune cererea. Grantul maxim care va fi acordat este de 150000 de euro pentru un proiect. Candidaţi eligibili: - orașe/municipii și comitete sau rețele de înfrățire; - autorități locale și regionale; - federaţii/asociații de autorități locale; - organizații nonprofit care reprezintă autorități locale. Parteneri: organizațiile nonprofit ale societății civile. Candidații și partenerii trebuie să fie organisme publice sau organizații nonprofit cu personalitate juridică. Un proiect trebuie să implice municipalități din cel puțin 4 țări eligibile dintre care cel puțin două trebuie să fie din state membre ale UE.

La misura Rete fra Città è la seconda misura dell'Asse 2. Impegno democratico e partecipazione civica nel quadro del programma l'Europa per i Cittadini 2014-2020. Questa asse intende promuovere la cittadinanza europea e migliorare le condizioni per la partecipazione democratica a livello UE e sostenere la partecipazione concreta nei processi decisionali UE.

Le reti tematiche tra città su temi di interesse comune permette discussioni informate e scambi di buone prassi. Le potenzialità delle reti create da una serie di legami di gemellaggi tra città devono essere sfruttate per lo sviluppo tematico e la collaborazione a lungo termine tra città. La Commissione Europea sostiene lo sviluppo di tali reti, importanti per garantireuna collaborazione strutturata, intensa e sfaccettata.

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
For the general public, the objective is to raise public awareness on the relevance of EU support to agriculture and rural development through the CAP.
For stakeholders, the objective is to engage with stakeholders (mainly farmers and other parties active in rural areas) in order to further communicate about the CAP to their constituencies, and to the wider public.

 Support will go to actions which should include several of the following types of measures:
- production and distribution of multimedia or audiovisual material,
- web and social media campaigns
- media events,
- conferences, seminars, workshops and studies on CAP related issues,

Themes
The proposals for information measures shall illustrate how the CAP should continue contributing towards the delivery of the Commission's political priorities. The common agricultural policy is one of the EU's most important policies. It is a partnership between agriculture and society and between Europe and its farmers. It is a common policy for all the countries of the EU. The CAP has a number of aims such as supporting farmers and improving agricultural production, maintaining rural areas and landscapes, keeping the rural economy alive and helping tackle climate change and the sustainable management of natural resources.

Target groups:
- rural communities, agricultural stakeholders, farmers and other potential beneficiaries of rural development measures;
- general public (with particular attention to young people in urban areas)

More specifically:
- 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 new EU School Scheme for Milk, Fruit and Vegetables which entered into force as from 1 August 2017.
- general public: the focus of information on the CAP would put greater emphasis on addressing the (mis-) perceptions of European agriculture and the role of farming in society and the need for greater understanding of the enormous contribution the EU agri-food sector provides to the wider EU economy.
- stakeholders: it should be ensured that there is greater awareness of the contribution that the CAP makes to the support of economic growth of rural areas, especially SMEs. The contribution that is made through the Rural Development programmes should be promoted, through which the EU is investing almost EUR 100 billion in the period 2014-2020 for the development of European rural areas. It will also be emphasised the support provided for sustainable production practices and other measures that will help to mitigate and adapt to climate change.

The information measures should be implemented:
- at multiregional or national level of an EU Member State, or 
- at European Union level (in at least two Member State).

The maximum duration of information measures is 12 months.

 

Budget
Total budget earmarked for the co-financing of activities is estimated at EUR 4 000 000. 
This amount is subject to the availability of the appropriations provided for in the draft budget for 2019 after the adoption of the budget for 2019 by the budgetary authority or provided for in the provisional twelfths.
The grant amount will be minimum EUR 75 000 and maximum EUR 500 000.

Who can apply
Any organisation legally established in an EU Member State: farmers' or rural development organisations, European associations, non-governmental organisations, public authorities of the Member States, media companies, educational institutions, universities and research centers. 

For British applicants, the 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 Article II.17 (Termination of the agreement by the Commission) of the Grant Agreement.

Deadline: 14 December 2018.

L’obiettivo generale dell’invito a presentare proposte è creare una relazione di fiducia nei confronti dell’Unione europea e tra tutti i cittadini, siano essi agricoltori o no. La politica agricola comune (PAC) è una politica per tutti i cittadini dell’UE e i benefici che essa offre loro devono essere dimostrati chiaramente. Per il pubblico in generale, l’obiettivo è sensibilizzare l’opinione pubblica in merito all’importanza del sostegno dell’UE all’agricoltura e allo sviluppo rurale attraverso la PAC. Per i portatori di interesse, l’obiettivo è collaborare con i portatori di interesse (soprattutto gli agricoltori e gli altri soggetti attivi nelle zone rurali), allo scopo di migliorare la comunicazione sulla PAC con le loro circoscrizioni e con il pubblico in generale.

Temi
Le proposte di misure di informazione devono illustrare in che modo la PAC debba continuare a contribuire alla realizzazione delle priorità politiche della Commissione. La PAC è una delle principali politiche dell’UE. Si tratta di un partenariato tra agricoltura e società e tra l’Europa e i suoi agricoltori, nonché di una politica comune per tutti i paesi dell’UE. Tra gli obiettivi della PAC vi sono: sostenere gli agricoltori e migliorare la produzione agricola, preservare le zone e i paesaggi rurali, mantenere viva l’economia rurale e contribuire a combattere i cambiamenti climatici e a gestire le risorse naturali in modo sostenibile.Tenuto conto di tali obiettivi, in particolare della crescente importanza attribuita alla sostenibilità della produzione, all’ambiente e alle zone rurali, le proposte di misure di informazione dovrebbero concentrarsi soprattutto sulle dimensioni economica, ambientale e sociale di una PAC sostenibile.

Destinatari
I destinatari per i temi di cui al punto 2.2. sono il pubblico in generale (in particolare i giovani nelle aree urbane) e/o gli agricoltori e altri soggetti attivi nel mondo rurale. Nel fornire informazioni sulla PAC verrà posto principalmente l’accento sulla percezione (talvolta scorretta) dell’agricoltura europea, sul ruolo dell’agricoltura nella società e sulla necessità di una maggior comprensione dell’enorme contributo che il settore agroalimentare dell’UE dà all’economia dell’UE nel suo complesso.

In particolare:
- per gli allievi delle scuole, gli insegnanti e gli studenti universitari: è opportuno adottare nuovi approcci per dialogare con i giovani e sensibilizzarli alla PAC e al contributo che essa apporta in molti settori, quali la lotta contro i cambiamenti climatici, i prodotti alimentari, un’alimentazione sana e di elevata qualità intesa come stile di vita, nel contesto anche del nuovo programma dell’UE per la distribuzione di latte, frutta e verdura nelle scuole, in vigore dal 1o agosto 2017 (3);
- per i portatori di interessi: occorre garantire che vi sia una maggiore consapevolezza del contributo della PAC al sostegno della crescita sostenibile delle zone rurali.

Bilancio
Il bilancio totale riservato al cofinanziamento delle misure di informazione è stimato a 4 000 000 di EUR. Tale importo è subordinato alla disponibilità degli stanziamenti previsti nel progetto di bilancio 2019 in seguito all’adozione del bilancio 2019 da parte dell’autorità di bilancio o degli stanziamenti previsti nei dodicesimi provvisori. L’importo della sovvenzione sarà di minimo 75 000 EUR e massimo 500 000 EUR. La Commissione si riserva il diritto di non assegnare tutti i fondi disponibili.

Richiedenti ammissibili
Il richiedente ed eventuali entità affiliate devono essere persone giuridiche costituite in uno Stato membro dell’Unione. I soggetti che non hanno personalità giuridica a norma del pertinente diritto nazionale possono essere richiedenti ammissibili, a condizione che i loro rappresentanti abbiano la capacità di assumere impegni giuridici in loro nome e offrano garanzie per la tutela degli interessi finanziari dell’Unione equivalenti a quelle offerte dalle persone giuridiche. Non sono richiedenti ammissibili le persone fisiche né gli enti costituiti al solo fine di attuare una misura di informazione nell’ambito del presente invito a presentare proposte.
Esempi di organizzazioni ammissibili: organizzazioni senza scopo di lucro (private o pubbliche), autorità pubbliche (nazionali, regionali, locali), associazioni europee, università, istituti di insegnamento, centri di ricerca, società (ad esempio, società di mezzi di comunicazione).

Per i richiedenti appartenenti al Regno Unito: si ricorda che si deve essere in possesso dei requisiti di ammissibilità per l’intera durata della sovvenzione. Se il Regno Unito lascerà l’Unione europea durante il periodo di concessione della sovvenzione senza concludere un accordo con l’UE che garantisca in particolare il mantenimento dell’ammissibilità per i richiedenti appartenenti al Regno Unito, tali richiedenti non riceveranno più i finanziamenti UE (pur continuando a partecipare, se possibile) o saranno invitati a ritirarsi dal progetto sulla base dell’articolo II.17 (risoluzione della convenzione da parte della Commissione) della convenzione di sovvenzione.

Scadenza: 14 dicembre 2018.

2. The Roberto Cimetta Fund and Biennale Warszawa are offering travel grants in the framework of the Biennale Warszawa in May and June 2019, thus facilitating and increasing mobility and creativity of artists between Central Eastern Europe and the Arab-Middle East region. 

Biennale Warszawa (BW) is a public institution focusing on a long-term work plan and operating on 2-year work cycles, which terminate with a festival lasting several weeks.
Its aim is to integrate research, activism and artistic work all in one.
The main idea behind the Biennale Warszawa concept is to aggregate and structure expertise on present-day culture and art, as well as politics.
From this base, new artistic, political, social, economic and ecological ideas are created and deliberated, building alternative models of functioning in the post-crisis world.
The curatorial concept for the Biennale Warszawa focuses on the institution’s activities around three dualities: art / culture, research / discourse and activism / politics. Integrating these dualities of expression leads to mutual strengthening of capacities and synergies, and avoids already worked out ideas, artworks or initiatives

The applicant must directly address the context presented by Biennale Warszawa and focus on future possibilities for transnational commons, translocal politics beyond nation-states, Central Eastern European and Arab-Middle East relations.Applicants must be either: 

- no nationality or age criteria apply to the fund; however the applicant must be resident or work in the Euro-Arab-Middle East geographical region (including Turkey);
- the applicant’s profession must be one of the following; curator, artist, researcher, cultural operator; 
- applications must be made by individuals and not by organisations. Only three members of a group can apply for a grant concerning the same project;
- applicants can only receive three RCF grants in total and only one application per person is possible at each call.
- travel must take place during the Biennale Warszawa from March till June 2019; 
- travel to another destination inside the Central-Eastern European and Arab-Middle East region is also possible if the aim of travel has a tangible link with the Biennale Warszawa. 

Applications can be made in Arabic, English or French.
 

Deadline: 31^st December 2018.
