Partnerships Beyond Borders
Partnership-building Activity
19-23 May 2025 | Durrës, Albania
New Partnerships and High-Quality Projects
This seminar offers an opportunity to build partnerships between organisations with Erasmus+ Youth Accreditation and newer or less experienced youth organisations from neighbouring regions: Eastern Europe and the Caucasus, the SouthMed Region, and the Western Balkans.
What will you get?
- Meet youth organisations from Europe and neighbouring regions.
- Explore shared needs for new international projects.
- Learn about Erasmus+ Accreditation opportunities.
- Develop skills to create fair, equal, and sustainable partnerships.
- Respect and understand cultural diversity.
- Understand how to plan and run high-quality activities.
What Is Accreditation?
Accreditation allows organisations to receive annual project funding without needing to describe each activity in advance. Partnering with accredited organisations means no applications are required, so you can focus directly on creating strong, quality projects.
Only organisations from EU Member States and other programme countries can receive accreditation.
Eligible Activities Include:
- Youth exchanges
- Youth worker mobility activities (including planning visits, study visits, job shadowing, and more).
Who Can Join?
This seminar is open to 50 participants: 25 from programme countries and 25 from neighbouring regions.
Participants must:
- Represent organisations that run grassroots youth work activities.
- Be interested in forming new partnerships for international projects.
- Have a decision-making role in their organisation regarding future activities.
- Be able to work in understandable English
Additional Requirements:
- Participants from programme countries must represent accredited organisations.
- Participants from neighbouring regions can be newcomers without prior Erasmus+ experience, though experienced organisations are also welcomed to apply.
