Store samarbeidsprosjekter (Large Cooperation Projects) supports long-term international collaborations aimed at developing new initiatives or sharing good ideas in the youth field. Organizations can collaborate with partners in European countries or EU neighboring regions. The program is flexible and supports many different types of projects. Projects should create positive and long-lasting effects for participating organizations and people directly or indirectly involved in project activities. The results should be transferable and, if possible, have a strong interdisciplinary dimension. Large cooperation projects receive larger grants and have longer project periods than small cooperation projects, which target smaller grassroots organizations. Applicants can apply for either 120,000, 250,000, or 400,000 EUR. Projects must work towards one or more of the following goals: promoting active citizenship, youth initiative, and young entrepreneurship; increasing the quality of youth work; helping youth gain competencies and skills for better access to the labor market; and strengthening the connection between policy, research, and practice.
