The European Commission outsourced a study on ‘Maximising the Potential of Mobility in Building European Identity and Promoting Civic Participation in EU’, with the general objective of deepening understanding of how the potential to support civil society mobility offered by the Europe for Citizens programme can be enhanced.
The study critically reviewed existing practice, to inform an analysis of what steps could be taken to make trans-national civil society mobility more effective within the Europe for Citizens programme, including taking account of lessons learned from the Programme’s Innovative Actions component carried out in 2009.
The study also considered the capacity of civil society actors to participate in any such scheme, including an assessment of the level of interest and need and potential synergies with other EU programmes.
To inform the development of possible options, success factors derived from existing trans-national civil society mobility schemes were reviewed and any lessons learned from these were taken into account in the study.
