SYNERGY mobility

SYNERGY mobility 

Interfolk has received a new Erasmus+ grant  for the period: Oct 2025 - March 2027.

The mobility project is entitled: "Synergies between social inclusive and green sustainable NGO activities (SYNERGY)”.

The 23 mobilities include 4 jobshadowing visits for in all 14 participant.s, and 3 training courses for in all 9 participants. 

Background and need
For over 15 years, Interfolk has been involved in more than 40 international projects, and most have been about the added community values of lifelong learning and culture activities in a civil society context.

But we still need, in general, to improve our work with the added community values of environmental sustainability, and especially to elaborate the synergies between social and green community values, where green engagement can build bridges over social differences and cultural prejudices.

Aim and objectives
The synergies between social and environmental sustainability are an important issue for the huge trans-cultural NGO sector of amateur arts, voluntary culture, and heritage as well as the social NGO sector, and it is also important objectives for many of the new Nordic and EU funding programmes that support international cooperation.

Interfolk intends with these mobilities to get new inspiration and knowledge to promote the added community values, not only back home but also in cooperation with other European partners with the aim:

• to exchange best practice and state of arts knowledge,
• to provide innovative pilot work, both in a local, national and international contexts,
• to develop new local and cross-national course packages and other online, onsite and blended events, like conferences, seminars, and symposia, and
• to establish new Nordic and European network for further cooperation about the topic.
