<strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-contrast-color\">different starting points<\/mark>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although available, <mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-contrast-color\"><strong>general awareness on the variety of<\/strong> <strong>European funding opportunities<\/strong>, <strong>strategies and priorities<\/strong><\/mark>, is not always widespread and is not used by the many actors in the same way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-contrast-color\">The skills to use the required tools<\/mark><\/strong> do not consider the cultural differences that pre-exist when promoting a collaborative project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-contrast-color\">The ownership of the knowledge and tools required to carry out a European project are not considered a condition of eligibility.<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kalos is aware of this challenge and for this reason promotes a more equitable participation among participants in a European project, <strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-contrast-color\">by stimulating critical thinking<\/mark> <\/strong>among key actors and empowering beneficiaries to receive, understand and modify the final results to become the real owners beyond the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We consider <strong><mark
