The illustrations in the Application Forms wiki pages are for consultation purpose only and may not always reflect the latest implementation.

There may be minor changes to the screen appearance and layout which are described on the updated page: How to complete the application form

In the Project Details section of the application form you are asked to provide information on the foreseen activities for your project, including the amount of EU grant that you are requesting to implement them. 

At project details level you will first define your activities. In the activity details, in general you will define the destination country/location of event, start and end date. Each main activity may contain one or more flows, detailing the planned activities, including number and type of participants, country of origin and country of destination, travel distance and time, and the planned costs. The Budget Summary for each activity provides an overview of the planned costs and the requested amount of EU grant.

A Youth Participation Events project may (transnational project) or may not (national project) involve one or more mobility activities of group(s) of youth workers to one or more foreign countries.

In addition, each card is initially preceded by a red line and displays the status Incomplete if there is missing mandatory information, either in that subsection or in another subsection that depends on it. Once you have correctly filled in all the necessary information, the line turns green, and the status is now displayed as Complete. Once all subsections are complete, the flow card is also marked as complete, with a green line.
  6. Certain fields, for example grants or durations, are updated automatically based on the information you have provide and cannot be modified manually.
  7. Certain fields, for example the Country of Destination, are greyed out as this information has been provided in a previous section.
