Complementary Information: In 2022 we applied for the new Civil Society Cooperation in the fields of Youth, Education and Training - FPA. In 2023 This application was evaluated positively and a Grant Agreement was signed. Following the hand-in of our work plan, we received the first installment of 140.000 in April 2023. The total sum for 2023 will be 140.000 - 175.000 EUR. A potential second installment will only be transferred after handing in the annual report. Further work plans for a total annual budget of 140.000 € will be handed in for 2024 and for 2025. We have successfully applied for a new ERASMUS+ Project in the field of ICT- and Media Education that fits into the scope of the activities of the European Digital Education Action Plan 2021-27. The envisioned programmes would bring together a partnership of 10 partners. The total volume of this project would be 400.000 EUR over the course of the project lifecycle and the resources would have to be divided between all partners. So far, 160.000 were transferred by the EC but had to be split between the years 2022 and 2023. Further installments will arrive in 2024 and 2025
