The social services sector in Europe is facing a growing need for care and support,...
Main goal
Increase the use of ESF+ and ERDF
The HELPDESK is a 2-years project (May 2022 – April 2024) funded by the European Commission which aims to launch the building blocks for a Social Services Helpdesk. The ultimate goal of this project is to increase the use of ESF+ (European Social Fund Plus) and ERDF (the European Regional Development Fund) funding by social services and to make it easier for social service providers to access these funds.
By launching the building blocks of a Social Services Helpdesk, the projects intends to :
1.
Support social services in accessing and using EU funds (ESF+ and ERDF in particular)
2.
Help managing authorities use EU funds to finance quality interventions in the field of social services.
On this website, you will find information on how to access EU funds, as well as the outputs created by the project, such as a Massive Open Online Course. Here you can find more information about the project.
