    1. Dear Caterina, many organisations send their calls for partners through social media. That's one way to learn about. You should search for FB groups, sites and other channels where these types of information flow.

    1. Dear Lucia,

  8. Dears, sorry if I am just too dumb, but if I want to apply from one of EU members states, where is the link to the docs to apply? I am a bit confused if for EU countries it is just the same programme as Youth in Action or a different one? I mean, for the 8 MENA countries it is all listed (links tot he offices and deadlines) , but for EU contries? Thanks and sorry if theanswer is obvious —

  9. Dear Asia,

    even if you are from one of EU member states, you have to apply trough the one of the application forms listed for 8 Mediterranean partner countries, there are no other application forms. At the links you mentioned you can find all the calls, deadlines, guidelines for each call and application forms. Please remember that each project funded MUST BE coordinated by an applicant from these 8 countries, so you can only be PARTNER and have to find the coordinator.

    Hope this helps,
