description
The Jacobs Foundation supports research and intervention projects in the field of Productive Youth Development. In this context, the foundation focuses on the value chain paradigm: innovative research, practical testing of the findings in pilot interventions and market introduction, which ensures the systematic application of tested models on a larger scale.
In the field of productive youth development, the Jacobs Foundation has current priorities:
- Capitalizing on migration and the integration of youngsters with migrant backgrounds
- Improving learning contexts, including institutional dimensions of learning, all-day learning, out of school learning and integrative approaches to learning
- Economic dimensions of productive youth development: macro and microeconomic effects
Within this context, the following aspects are of particular interest:
- Developmental perspectives
- Transitions in life
- Preventative inter-medial measures
- Learning methods, such as formal and non-formal learning
- Cultural contexts and values
- Skills and social responsibility
- Peace, intercultural and inter-religious dialogue
The foundation welcomes proposals from all countries of the world.
Applicants must have an affiliation with a college or university, or a cultural or educational institution. Ordinarily, applicants are expected to hold a doctoral degree.
Operational costs are only covered within the framework of a concrete project. An overhead of 10 percent will be considered. Equipment will only be covered if it is necessary in order to carry out the project.
The Jacobs Foundation rarely considers unsolicited applications and spontaneous project proposals. Most projects are developed in close cooperation with partners that the foundation has actively identified. However, prospective applicants who believe that their research or activities match the foundation’s approach and priorities very closely may send a preliminary project proposal.
