Dear all,
Please find hereafter the link to the text of the call for proposals Amicus ("Preparatory Action") that has been published on the 1st of August 2008 in the OJ C195.
The application file and all relevant documents are available in English at the following link:
http://ec.europa. eu/youth/ calls-for- proposals/ call1131_ en.htm
Please note that the French and German versions of the Call for proposals, application form and applicant's Guide will soon be available on the website.
As discussed during the National Agencies meeting and Consultative Group, even if this call is taking place outside of the Youth in Action programme, we are all convinced that National Agencies should be involved. Actually, given the high experience and competence acquired by National Agencies in the field of mobility of young people, especially in volunteering activities, your support to this initiative is crucial.
As stated in the Call for proposals, the Amicus scheme includes one Activity ("Activity of type 3") of placements of young people to do transnational civic service or volunteering activities.
Since our EVS scheme is composed of very valuable quality elements, it inspired some of the features of the Amicus Activity of type 3.
Please note that the call is open to the 27 Member States. There is a maximum of 35 participants per project, and the maximum grant depends on the country of the applicant. There should be one project per country, but if funding remains available, there may be up to 3 projects per country.
Please advertise the Amicus call as much as possible, essentially to the potential applicants, who are civic service structures and NGOs with almost no experience in international mobility of young people.
Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have any question about Amicus. The contact persons are: (1) Ms. Corinne Rigaud (corinne.rigaud@ ec.europa. eu - phone: +32.2.29.90. 523) and (2) myself (Peggy.GENEVE@ ec.europa. eu). Please note that in August, you may contact Stéphanie Frangou who is the backup during our holidays.
Thanking you again for your attention and wishing you a very nice summer.
Best regards,
Peggy Genève
