Small-scale Partnerships are designed to widen access to the programme to small-scale actors and individuals and newcomers who are hard to reach in the fields of school education, adult education, vocational education and training, youth and sport.

Their main objectives are widening access for newcomers, less experienced organisations and small-scale actors to the programme, supporting the inclusion of target groups with fewer opportunities and bringing the European dimension to the local level.

Small-scale Partnerships should last between 6 and 24 months.
