EUROPEANS FOR PEACE. Looking back and moving forward
FUNDING PROGRAMME FOR INTERNATIONAL YOUTH PROJECTS
In its EUROPEANS FOR PEACE programme, the Foundation EVZ promotes international school and youth projects. Young people from Germany, the countries of Central, Eastern and South-Eastern Europe and Israel actively explore historical and present-day human rights issues.
In transnational project work, the young people explore human rights issues in the past and the present. Points of historical reference are the history of National Socialism and the Holocaust, as well as postwar history. The projects also serve as a guide to ways in which each individual can commit actively to human rights.
The programme supports international partnerships between schools and/or non-school organisations. EUROPEANS FOR PEACE strengthens historical awareness and bolsters the active commitment of young people.
WHAT DOES EUROPEANS FOR PEACE FUND?
The programme assumes the following costs:
- Costs of group travel to international project encounters
- Costs of accommodation and board
- Materials for creating a project product and presenting the results
- Fees of experts
Alongside this financial support, EUROPEANS FOR PEACE offers advanced training for both young and adult project leaders in the run up to implementing their projects. At international seminars running for several days they can develop their content-specific and method related skills for project work.
WHO CAN PARTICIPATE?
- School and youth groups from Germany together with a partner from Central, Eastern and South-Eastern Europe or Israel
- Binational and trinational projects
- Young people in the age group 14 to 21 together with their educationalists/project leaders (funding is not open to students)
