Room for Inclusive Partnerships

In today’s world that is becoming more isolated and nationalistic, there is a strong need to reaffirm European vision and approach for cross-country collaboration in solving some of the issues EU and its neighbouring regions are facing. The project “Room for Inclusive Partnerships” aims at creating new project and impact-oriented partnerships between well-established and social change oriented non-governmental organisations from Programme countries and Partner countries neighbouring the EU, specifically, the South-Mediterranean countries (Region 3).

The project plans to gather 10 grassroots organisations that have been and are successfully working in the field of youth active participation and have managed to build effective tools and interventions creating an enabling environment and mobilising resources allowing youth to develop innovative solutions to some of the most pressing issues of their regions. The project perfectly aligns with the Erasmus+ principles of mobility of youth workers as it mainly focuses on professional development of youth workers, exchange of best practices and training of innovative non-formal practices of how to reach to marginalised young people, overcome isolation and nationalistic issues promoting diversity, intercultural and inter-religious dialogue, common values of freedom, tolerance and respect of human rights. The project plans to prepare at least 4 international mobility projects - KA1 (Youth Exchanges and Mobility of Youth workers) between the participating organisations addressing the main issues of the represented regions and promoting collaboration.

The project has set out to: 1) establish new uncommon partnerships between Programme countries and Partner countries neighbouring the EU (specifically Region 3); 2) develop at least 4 international mobility projects between participating organisations addressing common issues of the regions; 3) exchange best practices and innovative tools to reach out to marginalized young people specifically focusing on transferring and promoting fundamental values of human rights, tolerance, democracy; 4) identify and create an Agenda of common issues not for profit, civil-society-led organisations face across the represented regions.
