About Us

Building social partnerships in Europe

 

Through Empower, Possibilities NI aims to create equality of opportunity for disadvantaged groups in European society. We do this by developing partnerships, projects and networks and supporting other organisations to do the same.

We work in partnership with organisations throughout Europe to transfer knowledge, skills and innovation, and we are always interested in developing new partnerships and projects. Please see our Projects page to learn more about our recent and current Lifelong Learning Programme partnerships. Some of the countries our partners have come from include:

Many organisations would welcome the opportunity to develop partnerships with similar groups in other countries to share best practice and develop joint projects. Although it can seem like a bit of a daunting task, sometimes a bit of support is all that’s needed to get started. We have experience of all stages of project design, development, delivery and assessment as well as sound knowledge of European funding streams and application processes. Our services include:

  • Identifying European funding sources
  • Developing proposals for funding applications
  • Finding partners
  • Budgeting for projects
  • Completing funding applications
  • Assistance with project start up
  • Project management and administration
  • Project evaluation
  • Managing transnational projects

Our costs represent good value for money and can often be incorporated into project budgets at application stage. We are a social enterprise, which means that our profits go to support the lone parent charity Gingerbread Northern Ireland.
