Multi-Measure projects

Through a Multi-Measure project, a promoter who aims to carry out several Activities under Action 1 over a period of up to 18 months can submit a single application combining:

  1. either between two and five Activities of the same type (e.g. from two to five Youth Exchanges)
  2. or between two and five Activities of different types (e.g. one Multilateral Youth Exchange, two Youth Initiatives and one Youth Democracy Project).

All Activities supported through Action 1 can be combined within a Multi-Measure agreement, except for Bilateral and Trilateral Youth Exchanges.

The aims of a Multi-Measure project are specifically to:

  • reduce the administrative burden on promoters that have experience in managing grants under the Youth in Action Programme or other European Community Programmes
  • move the focus to quality aspects in project planning and implementation
  • enable the setting up of wider visibility and dissemination measures.
