  • Applicants can apply for support for projects or networks that consist of cultural, political or social activities where children and young people are actively engaged in the process and are able to have a say in the planning, implementation and evaluation of the project. Project partners should always encourage democratic participation and ensure that the children and young people involved in the project gain greater influence on the project.
  • For example, a project may entail:
    • Networks: Either individual or a series of network activities, such as meetings, conferences, workshops, camps, courses or other activities designed to further develop and strengthen partnerships, provide opportunities to exchange experiences and to share resources for advocacy efforts.
    • Production: This can be e.g. processes, campaign or information material, methodology material, reports, digital storytelling or works of art designed to make children and young people more aware of their right to participate and influence.

Funding cannot be granted:

  • organisations or networks that neither consist of, nor have experience of, inclusive work with children and young people
  • individuals
  • sports organisations
  • commercial projects or commercial activities that aim to generate a financial profit
  • normal operating procedures, such as the purchase of equipment, furniture or to pay salaries not directly linked to the project.
  • activities that have already been completed. At the earliest, activities supported by the programme may begin 8 weeks after the application deadline.
