In the recent years the Region has been increasingly trying to promote the use of and the accessibility to external funding for Scouting in Europe. Several efforts have been done to inform NSOs/NSAs about European funding opportunities, such as the Youth in Action programme of the European Commission and the European Youth Foundation of the Council of Europe, and good results have been achieved in terms of support to regional and national events and projects.

In this frame we introduce to you a Survey on the use of external funding by NSAs that has been prepared by the European Regional Office in cooperation with a group of students for the Master in “European projects management” of the University of Cergy-Pontoise.  As part of their curriculum, the students are asked to work on a practical assignment in collaboration with an external organisation and the European Regional Office was requested to identify a specific topic and support them in accomplishing their task. The survey you can find at the link indicated in the circular. It’s in fact the first result of this collaboration and it aims to collect data and analyse the access and use of external funding of NSAs.
