Cooperation Partnership essentials
﻿
In the European Education Programme Erasmus+: Youth in Action, Key Action 2 supports long-term transnational cooperation projects like Small scale partnerships and Cooperation Partnerships. These projects aim
to support the quality development of youth work,
to strengthen the professional capacity development of organizations and their youth workers
to bring European dimension into local realities
﻿
You can apply for two different types of  projects for Cooperation:
Small scale: Projects for newcomers to the E+ programme or European youth field, grassroots and less experienced organisations.
Cooperation projects: Long-term partnerships aiming to develop and innovate their practices by developing innovative ideas and intellectual outputs for systemic change in youth work. Innovation also means implementing and transferring newly produced products or methodologies.
Projects can be sectoral or cross-sectoral, meaning they take place in the youth field, in the field of education or training, or between different fields, including the economic sector. This course is about Cooperation Partnerships with main focus on the youth field.
