YOUTH

1. Introduction

Financial assistance in support of local pilot projects is important to the

Youth  Programme  on  Human  Rights Education because it will allow for new

initiatives to be set up and will motivate supporting local NGOs and groups

to undertake action related to human rights education with young people. By

funding pilot projects on human rights education through the European Youth

Foundation    For   further   information  concerning  the  European  Youth

Foundation  see  http://www.coe.int/youth   , the Directorate of Youth and

Sport  seeks  to  actively  contribute  to  the  inclusion  of human rights

education  in youth work practice and to encourage innovative practices and

partnerships, both in formal and in non-formal education contexts.

The  pilot  projects will allow for a more visible and direct impact of the

programme  at  local  level. They are a necessary complement to the rest of

the  youth  programme on human rights education and to the other activities

of the Directorate of Youth and Sport of the Council of Europe.

Similarly,  the  inclusion  of pilot projects in the European programme may

serve  to  give  them  greater  visibility  and  recognition,  as  well  as

facilitating  the  development  of  networks  and of opportunities to share

expertise and experiences. This will be done by means of the Directorate of

Youth  and  Sport  publications  and web sites. This may be completed by an

evaluation  meeting  and  a  publication  with examples of good practice in

2003.  The  evaluation  and  follow-up of the three-year youth programme on

human  rights  education  will  consider  to  what  extent support to pilot

projects beyond 2002 may be continued.

This  financial support to pilot projects should be seen as exceptional and

limited  to  the  duration  of  the programme. The European funding can not

replace  the  necessary  local  and/or  national co-funding (in money or in

kind).  In  this context, the assessment of applications will consider also

the feasibility of the projects.

Priority  for  funding  will  be given to projects which would otherwise be

difficult  to  start  up.  Funding  will not be given to projects that have

already taken place.

The  funding  of  pilot  projects is also made possible thanks to voluntary

contributions of Member States of the European Youth Foundation.
