Call
Summary
The main objective of this call for proposals is to bring the European Parliament closer to its citizens in organising two local European Youth Events (local EYEs).
Detailed Call Description
The aim of a local EYE is to activate and inspire young people, and make them part of a conversation with the European decision makers and Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) at the local level and pave the way for a long-lasting engagement.
The European Youth Event is an event for young people and by young people. Local EYEs should follow this key principle. Therefore, organisations selected for co-financing under this call for proposals are expected to be local or youth organisations (as main applicants). Partnership with a public authority for the implementation of the event will be considered an asset, in order to ensure strong links with the local level and a solid operational capacity.
The actions proposed in the call should target young people aged 16-30. Special attention should be paid to reaching out to minority communities from peripheral regions of Europe and citizens that normally don’t have so much contact with the EU and are less likely to already be involved in EU actions, such as vulnerable groups mentioned in point.
This call for proposals is one of the actions of the European Parliament to contribute to the European Year of Youth announced by the European Commission for 2022, intending notably:
- to encourage all young people, especially those with fewer opportunities, or belonging to vulnerable groups, to become active citizens;
- to draw inspiration from the actions, vision and insights of young people to further strengthen and invigorate the common EU project.
