Summary:
The project "For a Future EU-Africa Cooperation" aims to become a platform of solid partnerships, hoping to support a future application for the sub-actions of the Youth in Action programme which allow EU countries to cooperate with African countries, namely in the fields of communitary and human development. In order to achieve this, Associação Máquina do Mundo needs to find partners and participants who are really eager to develop projects and interventions in the African context, over the following subjects:
- human rights;
- literacy and education for local development;
- intercultural dialogue, tolerance and mutual respect.
The partnerships we hope to build with this project will be very important and useful for the development of organisations linked to the cooperation and development of youngsters in many different areas of the World.
