1. Context in 2006/2007
Long history of transnational mobility measures in EU
…but only few examples of transnational mobility
measures for the target group ‘disadvantaged youth
and young adults’.
2. The German IdA programme 2007-2013
Based on this situation: Set up of a programme for
transnational mobility measures for target group in the
ESF funding period 2007-2013 in Germany:
IdA - “Integration through exchange “
3. Objective of the IdA Programme
=> To improve the chances for disadvantaged
people on the labour market through traineeships in
other EU countries
“The participants for the IdA programme have no deficits but
capabilities which are not used to their full potential”.

4. Context in 2012/13
Good practice:
IdA ‘Integration through Exchange’ programme in Germany (2007-2013):
•
•
•
•
approx. 16.000 programme participants
290 host organisations
26 countries
62% in employment, education or further training six months after participation
Weaknesses
of transnational cooperation in the 2007-13 programming period:
• lack of institutionalised coordination
• project operators found it hard to identify TNC partners in other MS
• expenditure for preparation of transnational projects generally not eligible
in MS.
5. Set-Up of the ESF Learning Network on Transnational
Mobility Measures for Disadvantaged Youth and Young
Adults (TLN Mobility)
Idea for TLN Mobility:
Starting from the EU regulations, ESF Managing Authorities in
Member States and define a common framework for mobility
and -within the context of an agreed timetable - launch national /
regional ESF programmes for youth mobility
Strategic aim:
Integrating disadvantaged young people and young adults in the
world of work by improving their skills, knowledge and expertise
through work-related learning experiences abroad

7. The Coordinated Call – TARGET GROUP
NEET young people (18-30*) considered vulnerable with
regard to the possibility of entry into the labour market, vocational
training and education.
In particular, young people who:
are dealing with family elderly, sick or disabled (young carers)
have left school early
are low-skilled
are economically inactive
are disabled
are without work experience
* Extendable to 35 years
=> Appropriate measures to ensure the accessibility of participants with
special needs / disabilities
8. The Coordinated Call
 Defines common mandatory minimum criteria
for ESF youth mobility calls in the 2014-2020
programming period.
 Divided into the following sections:
 Objectives
 Target group
 Method of Implementation (program cycle)
 Minimum quality standards
 Implementation structures
 Common criteria for the eligibility of expenditure
 Accompanied by a supplementary Manual of Guidance with further
explanations and case studies on the different requirements
9. Next steps of TLN Mobility

The network partners will publish announcements of the regional and national
calls between October 2014 and June 2015.

The selected projects will be inserted into a TLN Mobility project database to
facilitate partner-finding among pre-selected applicants.

A two-day Partner Search Forum is scheduled for the first half of 2015.

The projects are expected to start at the latest in September and November
2015.
As project operators and potential applicants,
for any information on calls for youth mobility projects,
please refer only to your National or Regional ESF Managing Authority.
