Objectives

The APEEE has defined several over-arching objectives to be met through the funding of projects and initiatives . In this call, APEEE will give priority to projects with one or more of following characteristics:

  1. Encourage diversity and inclusion, and address discrimination based on age, race, ethnicity, national or social origin, religion, disability, gender, or sexual orientation. Projects promoting solidarity, including global and intergenerational perspectives, are also welcome.
  2. Improve safe, welcoming indoor and outdoor environments across EEB1 campuses for all students, including those with disabilities. Support innovative outdoor initiatives, student clubs, school teams, and grassroots efforts related to children’s rights, youth engagement, and civic participation.
  3. Strengthen the EEB1 community spirit by fostering connections across Sections and building relationships between the Uccle and Berkendael campuses.
  4. Promote artistic, musical, cultural, and other creative forms of expression within the school.
  5. Advance sustainability through environmental projects, ecological awareness, and green initiatives.
  6. Support physical and mental well-being, including mindfulness, stress management, early support systems, and peer initiatives. Address topics such as self-awareness, mental health, relationships, substance use, and the benefits of healthy lifestyles.
  7. Encourage the use of digital tools in education and support innovative eLearning approaches.
  8. Raise awareness about safe and responsible internet use, including digital literacy, combating misinformation, preventing cyberbullying, and addressing online behaviours such as social media or gaming overuse.
  9. Complement or enhance existing school programmes or initiatives already approved by the school management.

In general the APEEE endeavours to strike a balance between different objectives and strives for a good distribution of projects over different cycles, sections and sites, in a particular year and over time.

Eligibility

Projects can be submitted/organised by any member of the school community, including parents, students, teachers, and staff of either the school or the APEEE/APEEE Services. Projects submitted through this call cannot be sponsored or organised by people external to the school community. Income generated by the project should be reinvested in the action; for-profit initiatives will be viewed unfavourably. Projects requiring close collaboration with the school must present written confirmation of the support of the school director or a deputy director. Projects must be submitted within the dates laid out above to be eligible for funding during the period.

Selection Criteria

Projects will be weighed based on characteristics defined above as well as the following general criteria:

  1. Quality of the design and implementation methodology (e.g. clear lines of responsibility, a priori agreement with the school when applicable, a clear implementation plan, clear reporting processes and timelines).
  2. Expected impact of the proposal, including total number of students or parents affected or potentially affected by the project; coverage of different sites, cycles/levels and sections; perceived seriousness of the issue; potential efficacy of the project.
  3. General financial viability of the project, including the contribution required from the APEEE and whether the remaining funding is assured.
  4. Any positive or negative experience from previous funding awards, including their methodology and their impact.
