What is it for:
This action offers the opportunity to develop, transfer and implement innovative practices in different areas relating to sport and physical activity between various organisations and actors in and outside sport.
Collaborative Partnerships are innovative projects aiming to:
A particular focus will be put on projects that address grassroots sports.
What does it support:
Collaborative Partnerships should promote the creation and development of European networks in the fields of sport.
Erasmus+ will support the testing and development of new project formats and new forms of transnational cooperation in the field of sport that are likely to inspire the development, on a larger scale of initiatives supported with national funding schemes or other European funds, such as the European Structural and Investment Funds.
Collaborative Partnerships should also support the implementation of the European Week of Sport which is an initiative launched by the European Commission to promote sport and physical activities in the European Union, in the light of declining participation levels (following recent results from the 2013 Euro barometer). Communication campaign to raise awareness will start early 2015. The European Week of Sport will evolve over the years and it is intended to be organised following a fixed calendar (2nd week of September) with an official opening, a flagship event and 3 to 5 focus day, each with a focus theme.
Who can benefit from it:
Collaborative Partnerships are open to any type of non-profit organisation and public bodies.
Depending on the objective of the project, Collaborative Partnerships should involve an appropriate and diverse range of partners in order to benefit from different experiences, profiles and expertise and to produce relevant and high quality project results.
As a general rule, Collaborative Partnerships target the cooperation between organisations established in Programme Countries. However, organisations from Partner Countries can be involved in a Collaborative Partnership, as partners (not as applicants), if their participation brings an essential added value to the project.
