Dear YNGOs,

We (World Carfree Network Europe) are currently developing a project for 
the open Youth in Action call for proposals "Pilot projects for Thematic 
Networking" and are searching for partners for the project.

To apply, we must secure partners in 10 countries with the following 
eligibility requirements:
(1) Partner organisations must be developing a project under the "Youth 
in Action" programme OR have implemented a project in the past under the 
"YOUTH" programme,
(2) Partners must not have statutory connections to the applicant ( i.e. 
they cannot be our own member organisations), and
(3) Partners must be in EU states or other eligible countries.

The proposed project under development:
A series of youth study-visit exchanges on the theme of Participatory 
citizenship of young people in urban revitalisation will be aimed at: 
(1) training young people who have been involved in participatory 
citizenship themed youth exchanges in the past, (2) providing young 
people with opportunities to experience the real results of projects 
where youth were involved in revitalising/improving the urban 
environment in their communities, and (3) developing an online community 
where these youth can pool resources, exchange ideas, obtain and share 
resources, and find partners for new initiatives. Participants would be 
recruited by partners and would be young people who have participated 
(or are participating) in the partners' previous YOUTH programme (or 
current "Youth in Action" programme) initiative projects. While all 
study visits will be on the theme of Participatory citizenship of young 
people in urban revitalisation, one will focus specifically on 
connections between mobility issues and social justice.

What we need:
1. Partners in 10+ countries (must have done a YOUTH programme project 
or be doing a Youth in Action project, and must NOT be WCNE member orgs).
2. Locations for the study visit-exchanges (a community where youth have 
successfully been involved in revitilising the urban environment in some 
way).

What to do:
If your organisation would like to be a partner in this project, please 
contact Christi Brooks at cbrooks@worldcarfree.net.
Please not that these activities are dependent on a successful proposal 
and will not take place unless the grant is secured.

Thank you for your interest!

Best regards

World Carfree Network Europe
