Youth Peacebuilding Partnership

This project is still taking shape — that's deliberate. Rather than write the concept alone and invite partners in afterwards, we're building the partnership first, so the young people and organisations actually doing the work help shape what it looks like. We already have a partner organisation in Kenya helping form the idea, and we're now looking for more: educational institutions, youth NGOs, community organisations and youth-led initiatives, from Europe or Sub-Saharan Africa, all welcome.

Erasmus+'s funding rules mean a single project can only draw partners from one region outside Europe — so this one is built specifically around Sub-Saharan Africa, alongside European partner organisations. The exact activities (a youth exchange, training courses, or a longer capacity-building programme) will take shape together with confirmed partners as the concept note comes together.

Who we're looking for

Any organisation working with young people — schools, NGOs, community groups, youth-led initiatives — based in one of the eligible countries below. This is the official Erasmus+ "Region 9" list, exactly as defined for this call.

What being a partner means

Helping shape the project from this early stage, co-running activities such as a youth exchange, and — as a registered organisation — being able to receive EU sub-grant funding if the application is successful.
