About Erasmus+ Capacity building in the field of youth projects

Capacity-building projects are international cooperation projects based on multilateral partnerships between organisations active in the field of youth.

The topics of capacity building projects are political participation and dialogue with decision-makers, inclusion of young people with fewer opportunities, democracy, rule of law and values, empowerment, engagement and employability of young people, peace and post-conflict reconciliation, environment and climate, anti-discrimination and gender equality, digital and entrepreneurial skills.
