We empower civil society organisations and social enterprises by organising leadership exchanges across and beyond Europe.
About PeerEx
Our extensive work in peer-to-peer exchanges, including through Erasmus for Young Entrepreneurs and SEED EURO-MED, has strengthened our capacity to create productive, lasting partnerships between civil society organisations and social enterprises across Europe.
Our Peer Exchange programme contributes to strengthening democracy by empowering civil society organisations through peer learning and exchanges with counterparts from across Europe.
Our objectives are:
- To improve the skills of civil society and social enterprise leaders and professionals
- To establish or strengthen transnational ties between CSOs and social enterprises
- To foster alliances between larger and smaller CSOs and social enterprises
