Founded in Berlin in 1993, the EUROCIRCLE network is a European grouping of project managers in the social sectors of education and employment. In 1995, the network became a non-profit-making organization under French law, and settled in Marseille. Ever since, EUROCIRCLE has been endeavoring to support project managers in their implementation of a European approach by initiating European partnerships in order to set up transnational projects. The service on this web site, which puts partners in contact with one another, is tructured around an information service that concentrates on the technical aspects of funding programs.The youngsters with fewer opportunities are one of our priorities. That’s why we would like to make partnerships with organizations that have the same „philosophy” and would be ready to host youngsters considered with fewer opportunities on exchange projects. We consider youngsters with fewer opportunities: people from rural areas, unemployed youngsters, early school leavers, people with a migrant background….The goal of these initiatives is to foster the emergence of an intercultural European citizenship based on the values of tolerance, equality, peace, solidarity and ecology.
EUROCIRCLE, based in Marseille, is a French European NGO developing, participating and informing about European projects mainly in the field of youth. We act (or have acted) as partner in European intercultural exchange and training course programmes as well as the EVS in which we are sending, coordinating and hosting oraganization (former Youth in Action programmes), in former Life Long Learning programmes such as Grundtvig or Leonardo and in many other projects like Life, Prince, Equal, Daphné, Progress etc.
We participate in innovative and/or experimental programmes (Social European Fund, Fund for Experimental Youth Projects) to foster socio-professional integration of youth with fewer possibility through enhanced support before, during and after their experience abroad.
In addition, we organize transnational projects like the Franco-German ecological voluntary service, cooperation between twin towns together with the Franco-German Youth Office (OFAJ) or hosting international interns
