Call
A European public sphere: a new online media offer for young Europeans – 2023
Summary
The action aims to engage with young Europeans by creating curated online spaces that gather thought-provoking journalistic content around current affairs, empowering them to compare and contrast national, regional and local perspectives from across Europe, discuss and discover how their interests link to interests of young Europeans in other Member States, and to relevant EU initiatives.
Detailed Call Description
The aim is to address topics of pan-European relevance, and create an open, true, informed and constructive debate about recent and future life in Europe among young Europeans, using innovative formats on digital platforms, with the ultimate goal of creating greater awareness about European visions and realities, European values, ideas and decision-making processes so that they subsequently contribute to a more active civil society.
In line with these objectives, applicants should describe their approach to (1) content selection, (2) content creation, (3) content distribution and (4) moderating discussions. More details about each of these actions can be found on pages 6-8 of the call document.
