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.
 

2.1. Town twinning
Town twinning supports projects bringing together citizens from twinned towns to debate on concrete issues from the European political agenda. They will develop opportunities  for societal engagement and volunteering at EU level.

Gemellaggio tra città è mirato ad attività che implicano e promuovono scambi diretti tra cittadini europei attraverso la loro partecipazione in attività di gemellaggio, e incoraggia la creazione di reti tra città gemellate. La misura Gemellaggi tra città è la prima misura dell'Asse 2. Impegno democratico e partecipazione civica nel quadro del programma "L'Europa per i cittadini 2014-2020". Quest'Asse mira a promuovere la cittadinanza europea e migliorare le condizioni per la partecipazione democratica e civica dei cittadini a livello dell'Unione, sviluppando la consapevolezza dei cittadini sul processo decisionale dell'Unione.  

Asse 2. Impegno democratico e partecipazione civica è rivolto ad attività che coprono attività legate alla partecipazione civica, focalizzando l'attenzione sulle politiche dell'Unione Europea. Iniziative che promuovono opportunità per la comprensione reciproca, l'apprendimento interculturale, la solidarietà, l'impegno sociale e il volontariato a livello UE.  

Il volontariato è un elemento essenziale di una cittadinanza attiva: dedicando il proprio tempo agli altri, i volontari rendono un servizio alla loro comunità e svolgono un ruolo attivo nella società. In tal modo sviluppano il senso di appartenenza a una comunità, assumendosene anche la responsabilità. Pertanto, il volontariato è uno strumento particolarmente efficace per rafforzare l’impegno dei cittadini a favore della loro società e della sua vita politica. Le organizzazioni della società civile, le associazioni di interesse generale europeo, le associazioni per il gemellaggio tra città e altre organizzazioni partecipanti si affidano spesso al lavoro dei volontari per svolgere e sviluppare le proprie attività. Per tale motivo, un’attenzione particolare è riservata alla promozione del volontariato, in particolare tramite il Corpo europeo di solidarietà.

Il Corpo europeo di solidarietà è un’iniziativa dell’Unione europea che offre ai giovani l’opportunità di operare come volontari o di impegnarsi in progetti, nel proprio paese o all’estero, che aiuteranno le comunità e le persone in tutta l’Europa.

Nella sua fase attuale, il Corpo europeo di solidarietà si avvale degli strumenti dell’Unione esistenti, tra cui il programma “Europa per i cittadini”.  Pertanto i candidati possono utilizzare il programma “Europa per i cittadini” per compiere opera di sensibilizzazione sul Corpo europeo di solidarietà e farvi ricorso. In particolare, i candidati sono invitati a reclutare i suoi membri, accertandosi che le organizzazioni interessate soddisfino i criteri previsti per il loro accoglimento e sottoscrivendo la Carta del Corpo europeo di solidarietà. La Commissione europea ha istituito un portale web dedicato al Corpo europeo di solidarietà. Tutti i paesi ammissibili nell’ambito del programma Europa per i cittadini possono partecipare all’iniziativa del Corpo europeo di solidarietà.

2.1. Gemellaggio tra città. 
Il Gemellaggio tra città sostiene progetti che riuniscono i cittadini di città gemellate per discutere su temi concreti dell'agenda politica europea. Svilupperanno opportunità per l'impegno sociale e il volontariato a livello UE.

I progetti di Gemellaggio tra città devono comprendere i seguenti aspetti:

- coinvolgere Comuni da almeno due paesi partecipanti, di cui almeno uno Stato membro UE; 
- un progetto deve coinvolgere un minimo di 25 partecipanti, provenienti  da ciascun Comune invitato;
- svolgersi in un qualsiasi paese ammissibile a partecipare al progetto. 

La durata massima per un incontro deve essere di 21 giorni. Il contributo massimo previsto è di 25.000 euro. 

Candidati ammissibili: il richiedente deve essere il Comune, oppure la sua associazione gemellata/comitato gemellato con status giuridico, e avere sede in un paese partecipante.

Paesi partecipanti: i  28 Stati Membri dell'Unione Europea: Austria, Belgio, Bulgaria, Cipro, Croazia, Repubblica Ceca, Danimarca, Estonia, Finlandia, Francia, Germania, Grecia, Ungheria, Irlanda, Italia, Lettonia, Lituania, Lussemburgo, Malta, Olanda, Polonia, Portogallo, Romania Repubblica Slovacca, Slovenia, Spagna, Svezia, Regno Unito.

Civil Society Projects explore innovative methods of citizens’ participation. The Civil Society Projects aims to support a variety of projects of a transnational and cross-sectoral dimension, directly involving citizens. Those projects should gather citizens from different horizons, who will act together or debate on common European issues, at local and European level.

This third measure is part of the Strand 2. Democratic engagement and civic participation 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. 
The Civil Society Projects measure is directed at activities involving citizens and at bringing together people from local communities across Europe to share and exchange experiences, opinions and values, to learn from history and to build for the future. It encourages meetings, exchanges and debates among European citizens from different countries and through different means.
 

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.

2.3 - Civil Society Projects
The specific objectives are to support projects gathering citizens in activities directly linked to EU policies, providing an opportunity for direct participation in the policy making process.

- gathering of opinions: activities aiming at gathering the individual opinions of the citizens on a specific topic to be yearly defined, favouring a bottom up approach (including the use of social networks, webinars, etc.) and media literacy;
- volunteering: activities promoting solidarity among Union citizens and beyond.

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. 
All the eligible countries within the Europe for Citizens programme can participate to the European Solidarity Corps initiative.

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.

Reti fra Città è mirato ad offrire finanziamento ai Comuni e le Associazioni che lavorano insieme su un tema comune in una prospettiva a lungo termine e desiderano sviluppare reti di città per rendere più sostenibile la loro collaborazione.
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.  

Il volontariato è un elemento essenziale di una cittadinanza attiva: dedicando il proprio tempo agli altri, i volontari rendono un servizio alla loro comunità e svolgono un ruolo attivo nella società. In tal modo sviluppano il senso di appartenenza a una comunità, assumendosene anche la responsabilità. Pertanto, il volontariato è uno strumento particolarmente efficace per rafforzare l’impegno dei cittadini a favore della loro società e della sua vita politica. Le organizzazioni della società civile, le associazioni di interesse generale europeo, le associazioni per il gemellaggio tra città e altre organizzazioni partecipanti si affidano spesso al lavoro dei volontari per svolgere e sviluppare le proprie attività. Per tale motivo, un’attenzione particolare è riservata alla promozione del volontariato, in particolare tramite il Corpo europeo di solidarietà.

Il Corpo europeo di solidarietà è un’iniziativa dell’Unione europea che offre ai giovani l’opportunità di operare come volontari o di impegnarsi in progetti, nel proprio paese o all’estero, che aiuteranno le comunità e le persone in tutta l’Europa.

Nella sua fase attuale, il Corpo europeo di solidarietà si avvale degli strumenti dell’Unione esistenti, tra cui il programma “Europa per i cittadini”.  Pertanto i candidati possono utilizzare il programma “Europa per i cittadini” per compiere opera di sensibilizzazione sul Corpo europeo di solidarietà e farvi ricorso. In particolare, i candidati sono invitati a reclutare i suoi membri, accertandosi che le organizzazioni interessate soddisfino i criteri previsti per il loro accoglimento e sottoscrivendo la Carta del Corpo europeo di solidarietà. La Commissione europea ha istituito un portale web dedicato al Corpo europeo di solidarietà. Tutti i paesi ammissibili nell’ambito del programma Europa per i cittadini possono partecipare all’iniziativa del Corpo europeo di solidarietà.

2.2 Le reti di città dovrebbero:
• integrare una gamma di attività attorno a tematiche d'interesse comune da affrontare nel contesto degli obiettivi del programma o delle sue priorità annuali;
• avere definito gruppi bersaglio per cui le tematiche selezionate sono particolarmente rilevanti e coinvolgere membri della collettività attivi in tali ambiti (ad esempio, esperti, associazioni locali, cittadini e gruppi di cittadini direttamente interessati alla tematica, ecc.);
• servire da base per iniziative e azioni future tra le città coinvolte, sulle questioni trattate o, possibilmente, su ulteriori questioni di interesse comune.

Tipo di organizzazione/candidati:
• città/comuni o i loro comitati o reti di gemellaggio;
• altri livelli di autorità locali/regionali;
• federazioni/associazioni di autorità locali;
• organizzazioni non-profit rappresentanti le autorità locali.

Un progetto deve coinvolgere almeno il 30% dei partecipanti invitati. Per "partecipanti invitati" si intendono partecipanti internazionali inviati dai partner ammissibili.
La sovvenzione massima ammissibile per un progetto è di 150 000 euro. Le attività devono svolgersi in qualunque paese tra quelli ammissibili. Devono essere previsti almeno 4 eventi per progetto.
Il progetto deve iniziare entro il pertinente periodo di ammissibilità che è in funzione della scadenza della misura entro la quale è presentata la candidatura. La durata massima del progetto è di 24 mesi.

Partner
Accanto ai candidati possono essere partner di questi progetti le organizzazioni non-profit della società.

Paesi partecipanti:
28 Stati membri EU;
- paesi EFTA, paesi aderenti, paesi candidati e candidati potenziali a patto che abbiano sottoscritto un memorandum d'intesa con la Commissione.
- Albania, Bosnia ed Erzegovina, Serbia, Montenegro, Ex Repubblica Jugoslava di Macedonia (FYROM), Kosovo.

This is required to ensure compliance of the participating organisations with the principles and objectives of the European Solidarity Corps, as regards their responsibilities during all stages of solidarity activities.
All organisations holding a Quality Label gain access to the European Solidarity Corps database. However, having a quality label will not automatically lead to funding.

- Quality Label for Volunteering (supporting and/or host role);
- Quality Label for Traineeships;

Additionally, as soon as the Quality Label has been awarded, organisations have access to the European Solidarity Corps Portal where they are invited to advertise activities for which they are looking for participants.

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.

The proposals submitted should:
- provide coherent, objective and comprehensive information, both inside and outside the Union, in order to give an accurate overall picture of the CAP;
- show the benefits of the CAP to Europe, European farmers and European citizens and 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);
- show the role of farming in society and promote understanding of the enormous contribution which the EU agri-food sector provides to the wider EU economy;
- address the sustainability of agriculture, focusing on the economic, environmental and social dimensions of 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 campaigns;
- media events;
- conferences, seminars, workshops and studies on CAP-related issues.

Target public:
- 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:
- 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 Tartu Call.
- for stakeholders: it should be ensured that there is greater awareness of the contribution that the CAP makes to the sustainability of agriculture.

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

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. 
The availability of the call budget still depends on the adoption of the budget for 2020 by the budgetary authority.
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 UK applicants: Please note that until the United Kingdom leaves the EU, nothing changes with regard to the participation in EU programmes. Please be aware however that the eligibility criteria must be complied with for the entire duration of our grant. If the United Kingdom withdraws from the EU during that period (without an agreement ensuring eligibility for UK beneficiaries), you will cease to receive EU funding or be required to leave the project on the basis of the contractual provisions on termination.

Deadline: 21 January 2020.

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.

Il sostegno andrà ad azioni che dovrebbero includere diversi dei seguenti tipi di misure:
- produzione e distribuzione di materiale multimediale o audiovisivo,
- campagne web e social media
- eventi mediatici,
- conferenze, seminari, workshop e studi su questioni relative alla PAC.

Temi
Le proposte di misure di informazione illustrano come la PAC dovrebbe continuare a contribuire alla realizzazione delle priorità politiche della Commissione. La politica agricola comune è una delle politiche più importanti dell'UE. È un partenariato tra l'agricoltura e la società e tra l'Europa e i suoi agricoltori. È una politica comune per tutti i paesi dell'UE. La PAC ha una serie di obiettivi come sostenere gli agricoltori e migliorare la produzione agricola, mantenere aree e paesaggi rurali, mantenere viva l'economia rurale e aiutare ad affrontare i cambiamenti climatici e la gestione sostenibile delle risorse naturali.
Le proposte presentate dovrebbero:
- fornire informazioni coerenti, obiettive e complete, sia all'interno che all'esterno dell'Unione, al fine di fornire un quadro generale accurato della PAC;
- mostrare i benefici della PAC per l'Europa, gli agricoltori europei e i cittadini europei e affrontare le idee sbagliate e la disinformazione sull'agricoltura europea e la PAC (utilizzando fatti e supportati da dati al fine di sensibilizzare l'opinione pubblica sulla pertinenza del sostegno dell'UE all'agricoltura e sviluppo rurale attraverso la PAC);
- mostrare il ruolo dell'agricoltura nella società e promuovere la comprensione dell'enorme contributo che il settore agroalimentare dell'UE fornisce alla più ampia economia dell'UE;
- affrontare la sostenibilità dell'agricoltura, concentrandosi sulle dimensioni economica, ambientale e sociale della PAC.

Attività
Le misure di informazione dovrebbero includere una o più attività quali:
- produzione e distribuzione di materiale multimediale o audiovisivo;
- campagne web e social media;
- eventi mediatici;
- conferenze, seminari, workshop e studi su questioni relative alla PAC.

Pubblico target:
- comunità rurali, parti interessate dell'agricoltura, agricoltori e altri potenziali beneficiari delle misure di sviluppo rurale;
- grande pubblico (con particolare attenzione ai giovani nelle aree urbane)

Più specificamente:
- Per bambini in età scolare, insegnanti e studenti universitari: nuovi approcci dovrebbero essere utilizzati per interagire con i giovani e sensibilizzare l'opinione pubblica sulla PAC e sul contributo che essa fornisce in molte aree come la sfida del cambiamento climatico, il cibo, un'alimentazione sana e di alta qualità come scelta di vita, in relazione anche al EU School Scheme for Milk, Fruit and Vegetables e il Tartu Call.
- Per le parti interessate: si dovrebbe garantire una maggiore consapevolezza del contributo che la PAC offre alla sostenibilità dell'agricoltura.

Le misure di informazione dovrebbero essere attuate:
- a livello multiregionale o nazionale di uno Stato membro dell'UE, o
- a livello di Unione europea (in due o più Stati membri).

La durata massima delle misure di informazione è di 12 mesi.

Bilancio
Il bilancio totale destinato al cofinanziamento di attività è stimato a 4 000 000 di EUR.
La disponibilità del bilancio dipende ancora dall'adozione del bilancio per il 2020 da parte dell'autorità di bilancio.
L'importo della sovvenzione sarà di minimo 75000 EUR e massimo 500000 EUR.

Chi può presentare domanda
Qualsiasi organizzazione legalmente stabilita in uno Stato membro dell'UE: organizzazioni di agricoltori o di sviluppo rurale, associazioni europee, organizzazioni non governative, autorità pubbliche degli Stati membri, società di media, istituti di istruzione, università e centri di ricerca.

Per i candidati nel Regno Unito: si noti che fino a quando il Regno Unito non lascia l'UE, nulla cambia per quanto riguarda la partecipazione ai programmi dell'UE. Si noti tuttavia che i criteri di ammissibilità devono essere rispettati per l'intera durata della sovvenzione. Se il Regno Unito si ritira dall'UE durante tale periodo (senza un accordo che garantisca l'idoneità per i beneficiari del Regno Unito), si cesserà di ricevere finanziamenti UE o verrà richiesto di abbandonare il progetto sulla base delle disposizioni contrattuali sulla risoluzione.

Scadenza: 21 gennaio 2020.

The Roberto Cimetta Fund is an international association promoting artistic exchange and the mobility of professionals in the field of contemporary performing arts and visual arts within the Mediterranean area.

The Roberto Cimetta Fund travel grants are given to specific individuals and not to organisations. 

Eligibility criteria
- the trip must directly or indirectly show potential for a constructive and long-term impact on the arts sector in your own country. This means that the travel must contribute to applicants' own capacity building, which in turn can be shared in a “networking” fashion that will benefit connecting artists and operators in their region so as to maintain, renew and develop contemporary arts;
- travel can take place as soon as the call opens ( 1^st January 2020) but in this case the applicant runs the risk of paying for travel without guarantee of the success of the application;
 - the RCF will provide up to 3 travel grants per person.

Who can apply
- artists and cultural operators (performers, creators, teachers, cultural organisers, administrators, entrepreneurs, project leaders) living and working in Europe, North Africa and Middle East, who are unable to find the financial resources themselves.

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.

Granturile de călătorie ale Fondului Roberto Cimetta sunt acordate unor persoane specifice și nu unor organizații.

Criterii de eligibilitate

- călătoria trebuie să prezinte un potențial direct sau indirect pentru un impact constructiv și pe termen lung asupra sectorului artelor din propria țară. Astfel, călătoria trebuie să contribuie la consolidarea capacităților solicitanților, care, la rândul lor, pot împărtăși experiența lor în sistem „de rețea”, experiență de care vor beneficia artiștii și operatorii din regiunea lor, astfel încât să mențină, să reînnoiască și să dezvolte arta contemporană;

- călătoria poate avea loc imediat ce este lansat apelul (1 ianuarie 2020), dar în acest caz, solicitantul riscă să plătească călătoria fără a garanta succesul candidaturii;

 - RCF va oferi până la 3 granturi de călătorie de persoană.

Cine poate candida

- artiști și operatori culturali (interpreți, creatori, profesori, organizații culturale, administratori, antreprenori, lideri de proiect) care locuiesc și lucrează în Europa, Africa de Nord și Orientul Mijlociu, care nu sunt în măsură să găsească singuri resurse financiare.

- solicitările trebuie formulate de persoane fizice și nu de organizații;

- doar 3 membri ai unui grup pot solicita un grant privind același proiect. Solicitanții pot primi în total trei granturi RCF și se admite o singură solicitare de persoană la fiecare apel;

2. Fondul Roberto Cimetta și Bienala Varșovia oferă granturi de călătorie în cadrul Bienalei Varșovia din mai și iunie 2019, facilitând și crescând mobilitatea și creativitatea artiștilor între Europa Centrală și de Est și regiunea araba a Orientului Mijlociu.

Bienala Varșovia (BW) este o instituție publică care se concentrează pe un plan de lucru pe termen lung și care operează pe cicluri de lucru de 2 ani și se încheie cu un festival care durează câteva săptămâni.

Scopul său este de a integra cercetarea, activismul și munca artistică.

Ideea principală din spatele conceptului Bienalei Varșovia este de a grupa și structura expertiza în cultură și artă, precum și în politică.

De la acest nivel, sunt create și dezbătute noi idei artistice, politice, sociale, economice și ecologice, construind modele alternative de funcționare în lumea post-criză.

Conceptul curatorial pentru Bienala Varșovia se concentrează pe activitățile instituției în jurul a trei dualități: artă/cultură, cercetare/discurs și activism/politică. Integrarea acestor dualități de expresie duce la consolidarea reciprocă a capacităților și sinergiilor și evită idei, lucrări de artă sau inițiative deja dezvoltate.

Candidatul ar trebui să abordeze direct contextul prezentat de Bienala Varșovia și să se concentreze pe posibilitățile viitoare în materie de bunuri comune transnaționale, politica translocală dincolo de statele națiuni, relațiile dintre Europa Centrală și de Est și regiunea araba din Orientul Mijlociu. Candidații:

-nu se aplică niciun criteriu de naționalitate sau de vârstă; cu toate acestea, candidatul trebuie să aibă reședința sau să lucreze în regiunea geografică euro-arabă și din Orientul Mijlociu (inclusiv Turcia);

- profesia solicitantului trebuie să fie una dintre următoarele: curator, artist, cercetător, operator cultural;

-cererile trebuie formulate de către persoane fizice și nu de organizații. Doar trei membri ai unui grup pot solicita un grant pentru același proiect;

- solicitanții pot primi doar trei granturi RCF și se admite o singură solicitare de persoană la fiecare apel;

- călătoria trebuie să se desfășoare în perioada Bienalei Varșovia, din martie până în iunie 2019;

- călătoria către o altă destinație din regiunea Europei Centrale și de Est și regiunea araba a Orientului Mijlociu este, de asemenea, posibilă dacă obiectivul călătoriei are o legătură tangibilă cu Bienala Varșovia.

Candidaturile pot fi redactate în arabă, engleză sau franceză.

Termen limită: 31 decembrie 2018.

The Roberto Cimetta Fund is an international association promoting artistic exchange and the mobility of professionals in the field of contemporary performing arts and visual arts within the Mediterranean area.
The Fund supports and encourages travel which allows culture professionals to find the opportunities, partners and means to realise personal or collective projects; thus facilitating networking, exchanges of experience and cultural and artistic cooperation.
The individual travel grants cover travel and visa costs for trips such as attending professional cultural network meetings, workshops, artist’s residences, festival, symposiums etc.

The Roberto Cimetta Fund travel grants are given to specific individuals and not to organisations. 

Eligibility criteria
- the trip must directly or indirectly show potential for a constructive and long-term impact on the arts sector in your own country. This means that the travel must contribute to applicants' own capacity building, which in turn can be shared in a “networking” fashion that will benefit connecting artists and operators in their region so as to maintain, renew and develop contemporary arts;
- travel can take place as soon as the call opens ( 1^st January 2020) but in this case the applicant runs the risk of paying for travel without guarantee of the success of the application;
 - the RCF will provide up to 3 travel grants per person.

Who can apply
- artists and cultural operators (performers, creators, teachers, cultural organisers, administrators, entrepreneurs, project leaders) living and working in Europe, North Africa and Middle East, who are unable to find the financial resources themselves.
- applications must be made by individuals not organisations;
- only 3 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; 
- applicants must choose the cheapest form of transport and can only apply for one international return travel ticket and visa costs (local transport is not reimbursed);

Deadline: 31^st  January 2020.

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.

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.

This action supports higher education institutions to create international study programmes for students at master level and award scholarships. Higher education institutions from at least three different Programme Countries* are invited to work together in consortia, to create and submit their proposal for Joint Master Degrees under the Erasmus+ programme.

An Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Degree (EMJMD) is a prestigious, integrated, international study programme, jointly delivered by an international consortium of higher education institutions (HEIs) and, where relevant, other partners with specific expertise and interest in the study programme.

EMJMDs aim to:

• Foster excellence, innovation, and internationalisation in HEIs
• Boost the attractiveness of the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) and support the EU's external action in the field of higher education
• Improve the level of competences and skills of Master graduates and their employability

Partnership between Erasmus Mundus and the Inter-University Exchange Project (IUEP) of the Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT)
In 2019 for the first time, Erasmus Mundus opens up to a new partnership model in the form of a joint call EU-Japan. The purpose of the joint call will be to select excellent consortia of European and Japanese universities to develop highly integrated joint master programmes and offer scholarships to students. Mobility of students and scholars between the EU and Japanese universities involved in projects will be a key feature of the action.

The partnership will co-fund 3-4 projects which will foster innovation and excellence in provision of Joint Masters in consortia consisting of at least 3 higher education institutions from Erasmus+ Programme Countries and at least 1 higher education institution from Japan. 
In addition, the Japanese Higher education institution must be a master-degree awarding institution and award the joint or multiple diploma degree(s) together with at least one master-degree awarding higher education institution from a Programme Country.

Si tratta di un'opportunità per istituti di istruzione superiore per creare programmi di studio internazionali per studenti a livello di master e assegnare borse di studio. 
Un titolo di master congiunto Erasmus Mundus (EMJMD)65 è un programma di studio internazionale integrato di alto livello di 60, 90 o 120 crediti ECTS, offerto da un consorzio internazionale di IIS di paesi diversi e, se del caso, da altri partner, attivi o meno nel settore dell'istruzione, con competenza e interesse specifici nelle aree di studio/ambiti professionali oggetto del programma comune. La loro specificità consiste nel loro elevato livello di integrazione e nella loro natura congiunta66, nonché nel contenuto accademico di prim'ordine e nella metodologia che offrono.

Chi?
Il consorzio dovrà essere formato da:
- candidato/coordinatore: un istituto di istruzione superiore che presenta proposte di progetto per conto di tutti i partner;
- partner a pieno titolo: istituti di istruzione superiore riconosciuti che rilasciano il diploma di laurea magistrale e qualunque organizzazione privata o pubblica che contribuisca attivamente alla preparazione, implementazione e valutazione del programma;
- partner associati (facoltativo);
- entità affiliate (facoltativo).

Un’organizzazione partecipante può essere qualsiasi organizzazione pubblica o privata, con le sue entità affiliate (se presenti), con sede in un Paese aderente al Programma o in un Paese partner, che contribuisce direttamente e attivamente all’erogazione del programma EMJMD. Ad esempio: istituti di istruzione superiore (IIS); un’impresa pubblica o privata, di piccole, medie o grandi dimensioni (incluse le imprese sociali); un ente pubblico a livello locale, regionale o nazionale; un’organizzazione senza scopo di lucro, un’associazione o una ONG; un istituto di ricerca.

Informazioni sulle sovvenzioni
A seconda della durata del programma EMJMD (1 o 2 anni accademici) e del fatto che il consorzio scelga o meno di attivare un anno preparatorio, il consorzio riceverà una convenzione di sovvenzione per un minimo di 4 fino a un massimo di 6 anni per finanziare 4 cicli consecutivi di ammissione di studenti. In casi eccezionali, la durata di un EMJMD può essere estesa, su richiesta del richiedente/coordinatore e con l’accordo dell’Agenzia esecutiva, per un massimo di 12 mesi. In tal caso, la sovvenzione totale non cambierà.

Borse di studio per studenti di Master Congiunti Erasmus Mundus
La sovvenzione EMJMD finanzierà fino a massimo di 60 borse di studio per i quattro cicli di ammissione. I consorzi EMJMD possono inoltre presentare domanda per un massimo di 28 borse di studio aggiuntive per quattro cicli di ammissione per regioni/Paesi destinatari del mondo. Per quanto concerne i consorzi co-finanziati dall’UE e dal MEXT, l’UE finanzierà fino a un massimo di 32 borse di studio e altrettante saranno finanziate dal MEXT. Tali consorzi non possono fare domanda di borse di studio aggiuntive per regioni/Paesi destinatari del mondo.

Come? 
Le proposte per i Master Congiunti Erasmus Mundus devono essere presentate all'Agenzia Esecutiva Istruzione, Audiovisivi e Cultura entro il 14 Febbraio 2019 per progetti che hanno inizio il 1 Agosto e 31 Ottobre dello stesso anno.

Chi può partecipare
Un istituto di istruzione superiore (IIS) avente sede in un Paese aderente al Programma.

Le organizzazioni interessate devono leggere con attenzione le informazioni contenute nella Guida del Programma Erasmus+ .

Gli studenti che desiderano partecipare al programma devono contattare il proprio istituto di istruzione.

This action supports higher education institutions to create international study programmes for students at master level and award scholarships. Higher education institutions from at least three different Programme Countries* are invited to work together in consortia, to create and submit their proposal for Joint Master Degrees under the Erasmus+ programme.

An Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Degree (EMJMD) is a prestigious, integrated, international study programme, jointly delivered by an international consortium of higher education institutions (HEIs) and, where relevant, other partners with specific expertise and interest in the study programme.

EMJMDs aim to:

• Foster excellence, innovation, and internationalisation in HEIs
• Boost the attractiveness of the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) and support the EU's external action in the field of higher education
• Improve the level of competences and skills of Master graduates and their employability

Partnership between Erasmus Mundus and the Inter-University Exchange Project (IUEP) of the Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT)
In 2019 for the first time, Erasmus Mundus opens up to a new partnership model in the form of a joint call EU-Japan. The purpose of the joint call will be to select excellent consortia of European and Japanese universities to develop highly integrated joint master programmes and offer scholarships to students. Mobility of students and scholars between the EU and Japanese universities involved in projects will be a key feature of the action.

The partnership will co-fund 3-4 projects which will foster innovation and excellence in provision of Joint Masters in consortia consisting of at least 3 higher education institutions from Erasmus+ Programme Countries and at least 1 higher education institution from Japan. 
In addition, the Japanese Higher education institution must be a master-degree awarding institution and award the joint or multiple diploma degree(s) together with at least one master-degree awarding higher education institution from a Programme Country.
