Description

You have a great first idea for a youth project and would like to apply for funding through Erasmus+ or the European Solidarity Corps? You need support in developing your project idea and finding the right funding format for it (youth exchange, participation project, youth workers mobility etc.)? You want to address or involve Deaf or hard of hearing persons? 

This Project Lab has been designed for organizations that support or work directly with Deaf and hard of hearing young people, work on international youth work and volunteering, and are interested in getting information on how to apply for funding for Youth Exchanges, Youth Workers Mobilities, Youth Participation Activities or Solidarity Projects. We also welcome public and private organizations who want to explore accessible and inclusive opportunities in Erasmus+ Youth, Sport and European Solidarity Corps programs.
