Category D TOP
A Category D is a pilot project that contributes to the following priority objectives of the Council of Europe youth policy (please refer to the priorities for the Council of Europe's youth sector in 2012-2013 (pdf)):
to support young people, in particular from disadvantaged backgrounds, to find ways of meeting both the challenges facing them and their own aspirations;
to encourage new forms of youth participation and organisation;
to contribute to social cohesion, in particular by combating exclusion and by preventing phenomena specifically affecting young people;
to adapt and open up programmes and structures to the changes in society.
When assessing applications for pilot projects taking place in 2012, the EYF will pay special attention to those dealing with the following issues:
1) specific situations of young refugees, asylum seekers and internally displaced people - namely those involving unaccompanied minors and young people in transition from child to adulthood;
2) situations of exclusion and discrimination of Roma young people inside and outside the Roma communities;
3) non-violent conflict transformation and peace-building with young people, including projects in the framework of the Youth Peace Ambassadors programme developed by the Council of Europe;
4) young people defending human rights on-line, namely Internet-based projects against hate speech;
5) improving the access to social rights for young people from disadvantaged neighbourhoods;
6) awareness raising on the consequences of the current financial and debt crisis on the lives of young people, enabling them to participate in the public debate;
7) capacity building of youth NGOs in Belarus, with special emphasis on the regions of Belarus.
