1.6 LIFE Preparatory Projects for the European Solidarity Corps EACEA Status: aktiven Datum objave: 7.12.2016 Rok prijave: - 7.03.2017 at 16:00 Brussels local time http://ec.europa.eu/environment/life/funding/life2016/index.htm#eusolidarity Under this call, proposals may be submitted only for actions aimed at concretely exploring the potential of using volunteer work for environmental protection activities, mainly targeted to Natura 2000 sites and ongoing LIFE projects. Stretching over 18 % of the EU s land area and almost 6 % of its marine territory, Natura 2000 is the largest coordinated network of protected areas in the world. It offers a haven to Europe's most valuable and threatened species and habitats. The aim of the network is to ensure the long-term survival of Europe's most valuable and threatened species and habitats, listed under both the Birds Directive and the Habitats Directive. This call for proposals is aimed at selecting 5-7 organisations in Europe which will materialise concrete opportunities for in-country volunteering in environment protection activities, mainly targeted to Natura 2000 sites, in line with the European Solidarity Corps objectives. Each volunteer will have to undertake activities of an overall duration between 2 and 12 months6. The activities could be discontinuous (i.e. during the week ends and the summer holidays) if needed according to the will of the volunteer and the needs on the ground. The selected organisations could involve the volunteers directly for environmental protection activities they organise or act indirectly through partner organisations. In both cases they will be considered responsible for the respect of the minimum conditions applicable to volunteer work. The total budget earmarked for the co-financing of projects under this call for proposals is estimated at 3.300.000 EUR, out of which 2.000.000 EUR are financed by the LIFE programme and 1.300.000 EUR from the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD). The maximum EU co-financing rate for LIFE Preparatory projects is 60% of the eligible project costs. However the reimbursement of the individual support for volunteers and their travel costs will be co-financed with a rate of up to 75% and will be based on unit cost rates. Beneficiaries may include: (1) public bodies, (2) private commercial organisations and (3) private non-commercial organisations (including NGOs). The term "public bodies" is defined as referring to national public authorities, regardless of their form of organisation central, regional or local structure and the various bodies, including public institutions, under their control, provided these operate on behalf of and under the responsibility of the national public authority concerned. In the case of entities registered as private law bodies wishing to be considered for the purpose of this call as equivalent to "public law bodies", they should provide evidence proving that they comply with all criteria applying to bodies governed by public law and in the event the entity stops its activities, its rights and obligations, liability and debts will be transferred to a public body. For a complete definition, please refer to form A3b ("Public body declaration"). All beneficiaries which want to be considered and treated as a public body must complete form A3b.

The Strand also encompasses activities concerning other defining moments and reference points in recent European history. In particular, it will give preference to actions which encourage tolerance, mutual understanding, intercultural dialogue and reconciliation as a means of moving beyond the past and building the future, in particular with a view to reaching the younger generation. The projects under this strand are expected to include different types of organisations (local authorities, NGOs, research institutes, etc.) or developing different types of activities (research, nonformal education, public debates, exhibitions, etc.) or involving citizens coming from different target groups, including members of the Solidarity Corps where appropriate. Moreover, projects should be implemented on a transnational level (creation and operation of transnational partnerships and networks) or with a clear European dimension. The Programme has an overall budget of 187.718.000 EUR for the seven years (2014-2020) and is financed under the budget line 18 04 01 01 of the Budget of the Union.

The applicants must guarantee their co-financing of the remaining 15% covered by the lead and co-applicants' own resources or from other sources other than the European Union budget. The organisations forming the consortium will ensure the identification of the individual learners for participating in the actions of this call. The VET learners should follow or have followed schooling of EQF level below 6. The selected candidates should be one of the following: VET learners who have the status of apprentice and are at least 17 years old at the time of departure abroad; VET learners whose graduation from an apprenticeship has taken place within the last 12 months prior to the signature of the grant agreement.
