Call for proposals: Social Experimentation projects |
|
3 October 2011
The European Commission has launched a call for large-scale transnational projects testing socially innovative approaches to four priority areas.
Social inclusion of vulnerable groups, such as Roma people, migrants and their descendants, homeless and young people.
Quality of childcare services: this has great impacts on child well-being, but also gender equality, poverty in jobless households, employment rates, birth rates and on long term sustainable development by supporting the development of human potential.
Active and healthy ageing: this depends on various factors, such as life habits, working conditions or urban policies and represents a major condition in order to extend working lives and to reduce social protection expenditures.
Transition from education to work for the youth as only a multidimensional policy approach combining actions on the education framework, the labour market, families can be successful.
Although the applicant must be a public authority/semi-state agency NGOs can be among the partners so Eurodiaconia members interested in the call could contact a public authority to suggest they apply.
For the full details of the call please see here. |

Call for tender – study on mobility, migration and destitution in the EU |
|
The phenomenon of destitute EU mobile citizens and migrants represents an increasing challenge for social policies in the European context, as mobile EU citizens and migrants, separated from their home community and are particularly vulnerable to risks.
A call for tender has been launched by the European Commission for a study to explore the causal links between mobility and migration and the related effect of destitution in the EU Member States. Destitution is to be understood in this context as “a situation of lack of means and resources to meet basic needs such as shelter, food, health or education as a consequence of a legal and institutional framework, which makes it difficult or impossible, in law or in practice, for certain non-nationals to access the labour market or to enjoy social protection and, simultaneously, deprives them of any effective opportunity to improve that situation.”
The study should identify and analyse the current and potential causes of destitution taking into account the number and characteristics of those mobile EU citizens and migrants, who have no, or very limited, access to basic goods and services because of their legal status and who are thus destitute, on the one hand, and the socio-economic, policy and legal contexts and conditions prevailing, on the other hand.

Call for project proposals - EU funding for designing better policies for healthy, active and dignified ageing |
01 August 2011
Call for Proposals VP/2011/007
Although this proposal is aimed at public authorities, partners can be NGOs. Eurodiaconia members interested in the call could contact a public authority to suggest they apply. The objectives of this call for proposals are to provide financial support to projects aimed at designing better policies for healthy, active and dignified ageing in the countries participating in PROGRESS.
Projects may focus on different stages of policy development ranging from the identification of potential benefits of healthy and active ageing for sustainable social protection and social cohesion
in ageing societies to the design of new policies, their implementation and evaluation. Particular attention should be paid to specifically vulnerable social groups and to parts of the EU where poor health is most prevalent (as assessed by measures such as healthy life expectancy) and where many people are at risk of not receiving appropriate care for a life in dignity.
Deadline: 26/09/2011. For more information see here. |
