This workshop will be recorded and photography will take place throughout.

The SEUPB will be taking photos at this pre-application support workshop. These images will be used by the SEUPB to share news about PEACEPLUS, and to publicise our events. Images may be used in press releases, printed publicity and published on the SEUPB’s website. They will be stored securely, and we will delete them after they are no longer needed for publicity purposes. We may also share photos on our social channels for online publicity.

If you would prefer not to be photographed, please speak to a member of the SEUPB team before the event or email communications@seupb.eu. You can ask for the images to be deleted at any time by emailing us at the address above.

A Concept Note, captures high-level details of a project idea.

Any organisation interested in becoming a Lead Partner under Investment Area 2.3 may express their interest by completing and returning this Concept Note. The Concept Note does not form part of the formal application process. Instead, it has been put in place to help guide potential applicants to strengthen their application (should they decide to make one) and to help with a smoother project implementation process in the event of funding being awarded.

A link to watch the workshop recording and relevant supporting documents will be made available on the SEUPB website 7 days afterward the workshop.
