01What we bring to your partnership
Concrete roles we take on in your work packages — each one a reason your application scores higher and your project is easier to deliver.
We host your exchanges, training courses and activities in Athens — a prepared venue, full logistics and an experienced team on the ground, so your mobility work package runs smoothly.
We recruit and prepare motivated Greek participants and youth workers, and run pre-departure and group preparation — a recruitment work package you can rely on.
We design and deliver experiential, non-formal learning that turns your project’s themes into hands-on activities with clear, documented learning outcomes.
Our educational tools — microgreens, mycelium, solar and drones — embed the EU green and digital priorities in your activities and give the application a genuine, citable point of innovation.
We disseminate results through multilingual channels and our open library at microgreens.org.gr — a credible dissemination work package that keeps outcomes visible and reusable.
An EU-accredited NGO active since 2017, with delivered KA1 and KA210 projects — we complete our work packages on time and document them properly.
02Key Actions we partner on
Host or co-organise your exchange
Bring your group to Athens for a youth exchange, or welcome Greek participants to yours. We host, prepare and deliver.
Training courses for youth workers
We host and deliver training courses and mobility of youth workers built around green skills and non-formal methods.
Your first project, made manageable
A €30,000 or €60,000 lump sum, two or more organisations, 6–24 months. The ideal entry point — partner with us on the green priority.
Bigger ideas, lasting results
A €120,000, €250,000 or €400,000 lump sum, three or more countries. We build tools and methods — toolkits, a methodology — that outlive the project.
03Themes we strengthen
Topics and EU priorities we can build your activities around — the closer they match your call, the stronger your relevance score.
You don’t just bring an idea — we complement it with educational tools that make it greener, more digital and more innovative.
Help writing your project
New to Erasmus+, or prefer to lead it yourself? We help new NGOs turn ideas into funded applications — structuring priorities, work packages and outputs, and reviewing your drafts — while you stay the author and owner. Describe your idea and we reply within 48 hours with honest feedback and the next step.
Built for the award criteria
The points our partnership adds to your application.
Evaluators score your application against the Erasmus+ award criteria. A strong partner lifts your score on every one of them — here’s exactly where we add the points.
We bring the EU green and digital priorities built in — microgreens, mycelium, solar and drones — plus genuine innovation and the European added value of a cross-border Greek partner.
We deliver concrete, well-defined work packages — hosting, recruitment, non-formal education, dissemination — with documented outcomes and an on-time delivery record that strengthens your work plan.
An accredited, experienced partner (OID E10172681 · KA1 Youth + ESC) that genuinely complements your consortium — a clear, mandate-ready role, not just a name on the list.
Transferable results — toolkits and a reusable methodology — multilingual dissemination through our open library at microgreens.org.gr, and an approach that sustains impact beyond the project.
Weights shown are for KA220 Cooperation Partnerships; KA210 and KA1 Youth are scored on the same dimensions with different weights.

Not ready for a multi-year project? Start smaller.
Start with one youth exchange.
A short youth exchange (typically one to two weeks) is a low-risk way to work together first — we host your group in Athens, or join yours abroad, and build the relationship from there before a bigger partnership.
Plan an exchange togetherSee our methodology in action.
Bring your youth workers to Athens for a short study visit or job-shadowing — experience our hands-on educational tools first-hand, gather ideas for your application, and decide where EVEC fits before you commit.

We don’t just join your project — we make it more innovative.
Science made simple, learning made real. You bring the idea and the consortium; we complement them with a growing set of hands-on, non-formal educational tools. Microgreens is our proven flagship — and mycelium, solar and drones are expanding the toolkit — so your project delivers more strongly on the EU green and digital priorities and stands out as genuinely innovative.
Microgreens
Growing microgreens as an educational tool — a tray of seeds becomes a hands-on lesson in sustainability, healthy living and entrepreneurship. A delivered KA1 training course and a library of 100+ articles back it up.
Mycelium
Growing materials from fungi — a tangible, hands-on route into biomaterials, the circular economy and green innovation.
Solar
Hands-on renewable energy — buildable projects that bring the green and digital priorities together and make clean energy tangible for young people.
Drones
Drone-based STEAM — digital skills, technology and data literacy, with green monitoring and mapping applications young people can actually fly.
Pick the tools that fit your priorities — we co-design the workshops, deliver them, and hand you a transferable result (toolkit + methodology) you can put straight into your work packages.

Growing a Healthy Future with Microgreens
The context: our first activity under the KA1 Youth accreditation — a training course bringing youth workers from across Europe to Athens. What we did: we hosted the group, recruited and prepared participants, and delivered hands-on, microgreens-based non-formal education sessions. The outcome: 30 youth workers from 5 countries trained, with public results — a report, a photo set, and a reusable classroom toolkit — that other organisations can use and build on.
Across the whole Erasmus+ Programme
Behind EVEC is a team whose members were active in European youth projects before the organisation was founded in 2017. As an accredited host, we can welcome and recruit participants from anywhere in the Erasmus+ Programme — all 27 EU Member States and the six associated countries. The countries where we’ve already had partner organisations are highlighted.

A partner’s word
What a partner organisation says
“EVEC has been our partner since 2018, and our organisations are now part of each other’s accreditations. Every year they send us excellent participants, and every year they host ours in Athens. We’re growing side by side — and there’s nothing better than growing with like-minded people who share the same vision: empowering young people with European values.”

Partner FAQ
The practical questions you ask before you put a partner in your application — answered straight.
Is EVEC accredited and eligible to join my Erasmus+ Youth project?
Yes. EVEC holds Erasmus+ KA1 Youth accreditation (2023-1-EL02-KA150-YOU-000188397) and an ESC Quality Label (2023-1-EL02-ESC50-QLA-000195138), both valid to 2027 — an eligible, low-risk partner for the full duration of your project.
Which Key Actions can EVEC partner on?
KA1 youth exchanges, KA1 training courses and mobility of youth workers, KA210 small-scale partnerships, and KA220 cooperation partnerships.
What will EVEC contribute — and will you help write your part?
We take on concrete work packages — hosting, participant recruitment, non-formal education, green and digital tools, and dissemination — and we co-draft our own sections, giving you the activity descriptions, methodology and figures you need so our contribution is written to score.
What do you provide so we can add EVEC to the application?
Everything you need, fast: our OID (E10172681), PIC (909448430), legal-entity details, and a signed Partner Information Form (PIF) and mandate — on request and comfortably before your deadline, usually within 48 hours of agreeing to partner.
How are budget and costs handled?
Erasmus+ cooperation partnerships are funded by a lump sum. We agree a fair share for the work packages we deliver — no hidden costs and no up-front fee — and we’re paid from the project grant, like any partner.
How reliable is EVEC on delivery and reporting?
We’ve delivered KA1 and KA210 projects on time, with public results and proper documentation. We manage our own activities, evidence and reporting, so you’re never carrying our part of the project.
What if the application isn’t approved?
No cost and no obligation. We’re glad to refine the idea and reapply in the next round, or adapt it for a different call — building a partnership that works is the point.
How quickly do you respond, and how do we start?
Within 48 hours. Send your idea, Key Action and timeline through the form below and we’ll reply with honest feedback and the next step.
