Erasmus accreditation in the field of youth

Erasmus accreditations are designed for organisations seeking to expand their activities through international exchange and cooperation, and that aim to regularly carry out learning mobility initiatives.

The Erasmus accreditation in the field of youth provides organisations with simplified access to funding opportunities under Key Action 1 – learning mobility in the youth sector.

Applicants must present their project management approach, long-term goals, and plans for the activities to be supported with Erasmus funds, along with the expected outcomes. Receiving Erasmus accreditation in the youth field confirms that the organisation has the necessary systems and measures in place to deliver high-quality learning mobility activities and to use these effectively to advance the youth sector.

Objectives of the Action

The Erasmus programme in the field of youth aims to achieve the following objectives:

  • Enhance the personal and professional development of young people through non-formal and informal learning mobility activities.

  • Empower young people by fostering their active citizenship, engagement, and participation in democratic life.

  • Promote the quality and development of youth work at local, regional, national, European, and international levels by strengthening the capacity of organisations in the youth sector and supporting the professional growth of youth workers.

  • Encourage inclusion and diversity, intercultural dialogue, and the promotion of solidarity, equal opportunities, and human rights among young people across Europe.

 

Following the EU Youth Strategy and in the European Year of Youth, Green_Youth is a network of 8 European cities that will work for the sensitization of young people about the European Green Deal in response to the crisis caused by the pandemic and what is their role and that of local communities in the ecological transition and in achieving the sustainable development goals of the 2030 Agenda.

The main goal of the project Green IT Your Work – Greener European Cities, is to emphasize the youth role in the green transition, as well as promoting the green jobs with a goal of contributing toward greener European cities, as civic response to COVID-19 crisis.

FutureUp is organized around 8 major events that will take place in the different towns participating in the project (in Spain, Slovenia, Portugal, Romania, Malta, Italy, Netherlands and Greece), aims to directly mobilize more than 400 participants (number of people expected to attend each event), and indirectly to reach and benefit more than 25,000 people (number of people expected to follow the results through dissemination and impact activities) and will have a total duration of 24 months.

The project will be divided into 8 international events (one for each project partner) and aims to directly involve more than 400 participants, and indirectly more than 25,000 reached people. Regarding the activities, the places will vary depending on each city. The main target group of LocalEUCharter are the officials of the participating municipalities, political representatives of these municipalities charge of managing the support measures for the people that are developed and the social workers of the associations linked to democratic life.

The European Commission recognises that disinformation poses major risks to European democracies and societies, and it needs to be addressed in order to preserve European values and freedoms. Fake news undermine the trust of citizens in democracy and democratic institutions and contribute to the polarisation of public views.
