Dear colleagues – representatives of youth organisations, structures and institutions working with youth,
From the behalf of Nikos Papakostas, co-founder of Inter Alia, a civic organisation and think-tank based in Athens, Know and Can Association is happy to announce a pan-European campaign “Life beyond EU Funding: Imagining a Different Role for Youth Organisations in Europe”
Inter Alia, along with a partnership of over 100 civil society organisations and networks across Europe, carries out a pan-European campaign “Life beyond EU Funding: Imagining a Different Role for Youth Organisations in Europe”. In achieving a more sustainable environment for youth organisations across Europe, WE WANT YOU ON BOARD!
Youth organisations are agents of change, not just service providers! This role is primarily earned through the efforts of the organisations themselves and their capacity to be resilient and faithful to their vision and mission. However, a more favourable environment, supportive of change and experimentation and, essentially, more forgiving to mistakes is also crucial.
We campaign across Europe arguing that operating funding to youth organisations needs to significantly increase. We request that operational funding reaches 5% of the overall Erasmus+ budget in the field of youth on a yearly basis from 1,88% that it stands currently. This can only be sustainable through a series of policy interventions in the system of allocation and the overall terms of operation of the youth sector on the EU level.
Thus, we invite you to read and co-sign the policy document (deadline October 15) and, thereafter, take action to support the policy reforms by:
• Helping us engage as many co-signing organisations as possible
• Receiving feedback by local and national policy-making institutions
• Contacting EP representatives and EU policy-making stakeholders from your countries
We are looking forward to your participation!

From 16th to 20th September, a training on the SMIIM project was held in Athens.
During the training, decisions were made to change the content and format of the platform so that it could cover a wider target group. In addition to translators, the platform will conveniently assist cultural and social mediators in the near future, with content and test exercises added to this end.
Attendees shared their impressions of their sessions held in the partners coutries, with comments about the process, challenges faced and feedback from them.
SMIIM Newsletter №1 could be downloaded from here!
Enjoy!
There are 23 official languages, 60 dialects and many other languages spoken by migrants and asylum seekers in Europe. This diversity brings a cultural richness but at the same time potential barriers for speakers who are not fluent in the language of the country where they are living.
The work on project Skills to Maximise Inclusion through Interpreting and Mediation (SMIIM) continues.
Over a period of two years (2017-2019), Community Action Dacorum will lead a partnership involving NGOs and other non-profit organisations in six European countries, utilising the partners' skills to produce training materials to support interpreters who find themselves at the forefront of problems involving social isolation among migrants.
A training course was held from October 31st to November 4th 2016 in Sofia, Bulgaria. The course was dedicated to organization of trainings and skills every educator and trainer should have. The course was carried out by 3 trainers from Know and Can Association. 10 civil servants from Middle Black Sea Development Agency- OKA (Samsun, Turkey) took part in it. The training was a part from project OKA is Empowering the Adult Education Team which is financed by Erasmus+ Programme, Key Action 1. The training was made up by lectures, seminars, workshops, discussions and games.
