Prior to the funding call to the new PEACEPLUS Programme opening, the SEUPB held a pre-application support workshop under Theme 3: Empowering and Investing in Our Young People: www.seupb.eu/IA_3.1_Non_Forma...
The key objective of Investment Area 3.1 Shared Learning Together Education Programme (non-formal education): To provide direct, sustained contact between children from all backgrounds through collaboration between youth organisations, to promote good relations and enhance children’s skills to contribute to a cohesive society.
It will result in an increase in the number of children (those engaging with youth services); youth workers engaged in sustained partnerships with those from different community, socio-economic, cultural and political backgrounds, in a manner which will contribute to the attitudinal and behavioural change within early years, youth settings and the wider community required to build a more peaceful, prosperous and cohesive Programme area.
The SEUPB anticipates that a funding call for this Investment Area will open in Spring of 2023. In advance of this, the above workshop will provide preliminary guidance to help potential applicants build their project, programme knowledge, and capacity so that they are best placed to make quality applications, with a strong focus on outcomes that meet programme targets and the overarching aim of Peace and Prosperity.
An indicative budget allocation has been set at €10m for this Investment Area.
