‘Capacity-building in the field of youth’ projects develop partnerships between youth organisations in the EU and other Erasmus+ countries, and organisations in countries further afield. As in previous years, funding for non-EU countries has focused on building cooperation with countries in the Western Balkans, the Neighbourhood East and the Southern Mediterranean. The main goal of these projects is to support organisations working with young people outside formal learning. This includes promoting non-formal learning activities like clubs or community groups.

 

Projects focus on different areas that matter to young people. These could include helping them

  • get more involved in politics
  • be more ready for the job market
  • gain strong green and digital skills
  • get support for their mental well-being

 

Another strong focus is to include young people with fewer opportunities. Almost €17 million have been allocated to the 55 projects selected in the 2025 call for proposals.

 

Examples of projects include developing methodologies for organisations providing non-formal education (in Egypt, Morocco and Lebanon) in the field of human rights protection with a specific focus on women’s rights and gender-based inequalities.
