CERV-2021-CITIZENS-TOWN: Call for proposals for town-twinning and networks of towns 

Through 'Networks of Towns', the European Commission provides the opportunity for towns and municipalities to deepen and intensify their cooperation and debate in a long-term perspective, to develop sustainable networks and to outline their long-term vision for the future of European integration. While maintaining a bottom-up approach, specific focus is on: inclusion of minorities, combating discrimination and racism, EU Charter on Fundamental Rights, and EU citizenship rights.

Networks of Towns: 4,2 mil EUR |  Deadline: 26 August 2021

It is expected that 'Town-Twinning' projects reflect on a new narrative for Europe, citizen-oriented, equality promoting, forward-looking and constructive that would be more engaging for the younger generation in particular. The main priorities are to raise awarness about the richness of the cultural and linguistic environment in Europe and the importance of reinforcing the European integration process based on solidarity, as well as to foster a sense of belonging to Europe by promoting the debate on the future of Europe, and reflect on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the local communities. 

Town-Twinning: 2,7 mil EUR  |  Deadline: 26 August 2021
