&lt;p&gt;
The deadline to apply for funding for preparatory visits this autumn for the Nordplus Junior Programme has been cancelled. This is due to the online application and reporting system ARS currently not being fully operational.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;All applications submitted by the deadline 21 April are now being processed by the Nordplus administrators and will be put to the various Nordplus Programme Committees for decision. Due to unfortunate technical problems with the Application- and Reporting System (ARS), we are not able to notify all applicants on the results before 21 July. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Dear Nordplus applicants, &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Nordic Council of Ministers has decided to extend the application deadline for the Nordplus Framework Programme to &lt;b&gt;Monday 21 April 2008&lt;/b&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Nordplus Application and Reporting System (ARS) is used in the Nordplus application process as well as during follow-up, reporting and dissemination of results. The decision to extend the deadline was made after serious consideration of the problems that the users of ARS have met, and after thorough examination of the actual situation. We are aware that errors and weaknesses in ARS have led to numerous problems and frustration for many users and we sincerely apologies for that.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Bullying is one of the biggest problems amongst young people. Adults sometimes don’t pay attention to it, and they often dismiss children with a simple “they have to learn how to cope”. Unfortunately, bullying can drive a young soul to suicide.&lt;b&gt; &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Each of the eight participating countries in the Nordplus Framework Programme will arrange national information events presenting the possibilities in the new programme. &lt;b&gt; &lt;/b&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The events will take place during the autumn of 2007 and winter 2008, and will give essential information for potential participants in the Nordplus Framework Programme. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The national Nordplus offices are responsible for providing information in their own country.&lt;/p&gt;
