There has been a call for proposals aiming to support projects which promote cooperation in the youth sector between Programme Countries and Partner countries other than those which are neighbours of the European Union: Action 3.2 — ‘Youth in the world’: Cooperation with countries other than the neighbouring countries of the EU (EACEA/11/10).

The cooperation is addressed to persons working in the youth sector, youth workers and youth leaders, young people themselves and other actors involved in youth organisations and structures and interested in running projects promoting cooperation in this field.
Preference will be given to projects reflecting the following annual priorities of the call:
— global issues affecting young people, such as climate change, sustainable development, migrations, and the Millennium Development Goals (1),
— combating poverty and social exclusion (2),
— strengthening the Euro-African dialogue, exchange and cooperation in the field of youth (3).

In addition to the above mentioned priorities, following the joint statement to the 12th China-EU summit, held in Nanjing on 30 November 2009 (4), which announced the launch of 2011 as the Europe-China Year of Youth, particular attention will be devoted to projects aiming at promoting dialogue and cooperation in the field of youth between the EU and China with a view to contributing to the Europe-China Year of Youth in 2011.
