The project Partnership Strategies for NGOs (PSN) comes as a common effort to overcome the lack of information and experience on European projects, the need to improve the quality of Erasmus+ projects, raise awareness of the Programme at the local level as an opportunity for young people to take part and participate actively at local and European level, driving them towards inclusion.
There is a real need to get to know better European opportunities for youth, explore them deeply and get to know how to implement quality projects, plus explore topics such as youth work, youth empowerment, and participation. In this way, we all will have a common understanding of what European projects mean for us and how they can be a tool to support young people and promote participation and inclusion.
