Expression of interest 2025

INTERSOS and UNHCR are glad to launch the expression of interest of PartecipAzione 2025

PartecipAzione is dedicated to supporting refugee-led associations that actively contribute to the integration and active participation of refugees, asylum seekers and stateless persons in Italy. 

For 8 years, we have been working together with associations in Italy to build inclusive practices and more cohesive local communities.

Through the funds that we make available to refugee-led associations, we want to support them in their path for development and local growth. This tool is part of a broader program aimed at promoting refugee associations as emerging actors alongside other civil society associations, advocating for their rights and their inclusion in society.

The programme provides associations with:

• A structured training scheme aiming at strengthening capacities in different areas (including project management, fundraising, communication and refugee protection);
• A microgrant for the implementation of the proposed project;
• Individualised support with project writing, implementation and reporting;
• Networking opportunities with other associations of PartecipAzione’s network.

The selection process to join the programme in 2025 includes two phases: 

• Phase 1 – from 31/01 to 02/03: applications are open for associations that are interested in participating in the programme.
• Phase 2 – from 14/02 to 31/03: only associations meeting the selection criteria will proceed to the second phase of the process and will be accompanied in the definition of a comprehensive project proposal. 

Before submitting your application, please read the GUIDELINES carefully for more information regarding the associations eligible to apply and the stages and criteria of the selection process.

Associations working in Italy to promote integration and participation of refugees, asylum seekers and stateless persons can participate. The associations’ proposals must be in line with the objectives of the Programme (protection, integration, social inclusion).

On Wednesday 12 February at 18:00 the PartecipAzione team will hold a live streaming to present the expression of interest and the guidelines and answer any questions. To watch the broadcast, log on to the Intersos Facebook Page or visit the website www.partecipazionerifugiati.org

Thank you for your interest in joining the programme!
