This call for proposals serves to implement the Amicus Preparatory Action which steps up the European Union's commitments in the field of youth mobility by offering the opportunity to give a transnational dimension to youth civic service and volunteering placements.

The Amicus Preparatory Action aims to:

• promote the transnational character of youth placements in civic service and volunteering activities;
• promote the development of a European framework to facilitate the interoperability of existing civic service and volunteering opportunities for young people in the Member States;
• allow a testing and evaluation phase by way of specific European cooperation projects in the field of youth transnational civic service and volunteering.

Amicus will support transnational civic service and volunteering projects comprising, on the one hand, research and awareness raising activities and, on the other hand, the placement of young people within the European Union.

The projects are to be run by civic service bodies or civil society organisations.
