The young people are missing - youth leaders and workers are mentioned - young people are the protagonists

It is a safe space for a participative approach - especially reinforcing of being there from the start to steer one's own projects. The participants are also the applicants.

E+ is very important as RAY research shows that therefore it is very important to continue doing it

The objectives are not much clear in the programme - should young people and practitioners relate more to the programme than values and objects are more focused and effective

In the Youth sector - we talk about quality and role of youth work - less on participation and democracy. Would be good that these two factors are put more explicitly in the objectives.

E+ is more than mere mobility programme - it is about improving democratic challenges and the practicing of democratic practices.

E+ is already contributing massively but it needs to be made more clear - with an increase in budget to enable an increase in participation.

Programmes contributes to local democratic process as it gives the possibility to contribute to the value on a local level especially through solidarity projects. Participating in a local community is also the acquisition of skills.

The opportunity of a mobility is an essential for learning outcomes related to European values. This depends much on quality and given weight through the assessment criteria.

connected to democracy and values and without respecting these you cannot have quality youth work

reshape participation criteria in projects (maybe mobility of youth workers) to have follow up effect; avoid just participation (one off) opportunities;

programmes does allow for young leaders in youth sector to develop and move into youth work (and there are more opportunities to build on that); maybe streamline age limits;

KA2 (220) - applicants are attracted to the money, but do we actually need the amount of similar results often produced by these projects; youth sectors is mostly partner - does it bring added value to youth work; (but there are continues that use this for U and youth sector cooperation on profesioanlization of youth workers)

are KA2 results are really visible? should multiplier events be mandatory in KA2 projects?

results platform should be more visible (maybe put TCAs in there also - connect with the new platform)

not enough good working tools for partner finding

Participants recognize their involvement in EU values from the individual development point of view but they are not so aware of the potential for social change. We should move from individual to social (and broader) impact.

We should go to the next level, not only respect the EU values but be a sort of ambassadors of them and stand for them. For that it is important the community building among them. Bring them together to speak out rather than do it individually. As the program gets bigger we need to work more to help building this community.

It is clear that a european programme should be standing for EU values but we need to define how are we doing that: should we directly “preach”/communicate them or should we provide a platform to allow that to happen?

Build capacity of individuals and structure to be able to stand for them.

Reflect on how to deal with those that are actually against those values. Although there are few we still need to do something.

Protect our youth workers and work leaders when standing for those values.

Youth participation activities have a potential that has not been fully developed in regard with EU values.

The applicants are rather working on the priorities because it is easier. EU values are more abstract. Maybe we should have another priority specific of EU values or redefine the participation priority to include EU values more explicitly. It is there already but maybe we have to stress it more.

Participation did not have an indicator associated to it Having an indicator on participation helps.

The aim is not being only a learning programme but an active citizenship programme.

KA 2 is a very good opportunity - but it needs better defining to youth work and strategy as it still attracts the wrong audience.

There should be more focus on the actors - at least one counterpart should be from the youth sector.

The objects is to increase the quality of youth work methods - therefore to apply you need to know the field in your county identify a project and have clear way forward how to use outcomes effectively.

One hand we say that programmes are open for countries other than programme countries - but there are limitations like the 25% in KA 1. We say it is open for other countries and then there are limitations. Decreasing these limitations at operational level gives space for democracy and values to be explored - keeping Europe together.

We are not taking advantage of the full potential of KA2, we are not linking it for example to the Youth Work Agenda or Youth Goals… it is too open and to broad. Clarify the objectives of KA2 and link it to objectives. It’s definition it is a bit blurry and that is attracting dubious actors.

We should be able to support structure.

Theres is still lack of information on opportunities (including TCA/NET)

Reach all those organizations we have not yet reached.

Help them with the administrative burden or simplify it. Although we’ve noticed that their perception of administrative burden is different in KA1 (youth workers mobility) than in KA2

Provide the NA’s the backup that we need to be able to reject applicants and be covered.

Youth workers mobility is intended to spread the knowledge achived that but are they actually understanding like that. We should work on that.

Projects are already doing it, it is a strength of the programme BUT we cannot take that for granted, we have to be more explicit about them.

RAY results have proven a great impact. We can be proud of it.

The whole idea of solidarity is already an EU value. ESC is a strong contribution for this topic. We could transfer part of that solidarity feeling into Ersamus+ to promote it more. It’s main lable now is that it is a “learning programme”

Mobility is closely linked with diversity: meeting people with different background, and that is already an EU value.

Addressing the risk of more organizations coming in the programme but that are not linked to the youth field and that makes it more difficult to help smaller organizations of the youth field. Ie. Universities applying to KA2 in youth sector particularly in round 2. That clearly do not help to develop the youth sector. We should protect KA2 to keep it in the sector.

Organizations are already in an ecosystem. We can take advantage of that.

Small youth organizations will not think of big grants. The size of grants do not fit with the kind of projects they run. Maybe we need to re-scale the grants (KA220)
