Big impact.<\/p>\n<h5 style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>\ud83c\udf0d Launching international projects together<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\" class=\"translation-block\">A small-scale partnership is an Erasmus+ funding programme.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\" class=\"translation-block\">The programme supports organisations in implementing international projects more easily.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\" class=\"translation-block\">Particularly small organisations, new applicants or institutions with little experience in international projects should find it easier to take part.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\" class=\"translation-block\">A small-scale partnership has a simpler structure than large funding programmes and offers a good entry point into international cooperation.<\/p>\n<h5 style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>\ud83d\udca1 What is a Small Scale Partnership?<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\" class=\"translation-block\">In a Small Scale Partnership, at least two organisations from different countries work together.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\" class=\"translation-block\">Together, they plan and design a project on a topic that is important for their work.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\" class=\"translation-block\">The aim is to learn from each other, develop new ideas and share good practice.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\" class=\"translation-block\">The projects can start small and still achieve a great deal.<\/p>\n<h5 style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>\ud83d\udc65 Who is the programme for?<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\" class=\"translation-block\">The programme is aimed at professionals and organisations working with young people.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\" class=\"translation-block\">For example:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<li>youth centres and youth associations<\/li>\n<li>Clubs and initiatives<\/li>\n<li>organisations responsible for child and youth services<\/li>\n<li>Educational and cultural institutions<\/li>\n<li>social organisations<\/li>\n<li>Local authorities and networks<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\" class=\"translation-block\">Even organisations with little experience in Erasmus+ can take part.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\" class=\"translation-block\">The programme is deliberately designed to be more accessible.<\/p>\n<h5 style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>\ud83e\udde9 Which topics are possible?<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\" class=\"translation-block\">A small-scale partnership can cover many topics.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\" class=\"translation-block\">For example:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<li>Participation and democracy<\/li>\n<li>Diversity and Inclusion<\/li>\n<li>mental health<\/li>\n<li>Digitisation<\/li>\n<li>Sustainability and climate action<\/li>\n<li>Prevention of discrimination<\/li>\n<li>international youth work<\/li>\n<li>new methods in working with young people<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\" class=\"translation-block\">What is important is that the topic should fit one's own work and the needs of young people.<\/p>\n<h5 style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>\ud83d\udee0\ufe0f How does a project work?<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\" class=\"translation-block\">Organisations develop an idea together.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\" class=\"translation-block\">Afterwards they plan activities and work together over several months.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\" class=\"translation-block\">For example by:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<li>international meetings<\/li>\n<li>Workshops and training<\/li>\n<li>Observerships<\/li>\n<li>digital collaboration<\/li>\n<li>Exchange of methods<\/li>\n<li>shared materials or concepts<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\" class=\"translation-block\">The projects usually last between 6 and 24 months.<\/p>\n<h5 style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>\ud83d\ude80<\/strong><strong> What are the benefits of a small-scale partnership?<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\" class=\"translation-block\">The programme offers many opportunities for professionals and organisations.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\" class=\"translation-block\">For example:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<li>build new international

experience<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\" class=\"translation-block\">Many organisations use Small Scale Partnerships as an entry point into Erasmus+.<\/p>\n<h5 style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>\u2b50 Why is this important?<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\" class=\"translation-block\">International cooperation strengthens the quality of youth work.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\" class=\"translation-block\">Specialists can get to know new approaches and work through challenges together.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\" class=\"translation-block\">Even smaller organisations benefit from building up international work step by step.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\" class=\"translation-block\">The Small Scale Partnership makes international cooperation simpler and more accessible.<\/p>\n<h5 style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>\ud83d\udce9 Interested?<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"
