The Commission extended its €1 million call for proposals to help local young people shape projects to develop their regions.
- 19 August 2022
The action supports the implementation of the renewed Strategy ‘Putting people first, securing sustainable and inclusive growth, unlocking the potential of the EU’s outermost regions’ adopted last May.
This call for proposals is the first step of a two-year project that, in the context of the 2022 European Year of Youth, will support at least 70 actions by young people aged 15-24. It will select an entity which will manage the implementation of the project. The aim is to support young people in these vulnerable and remote regions to develop actions tailored to their regions to improve quality of life, development and growth.
Deadline for submitting applications is 15 November 2022 – 17:00 (CET).
Young people will need to develop ideas and community actions linked to EU priorities such as the green and digital transition, socio-economic recovery and equality and inclusion. A call for action for young people to benefit from these grants will be published in 2023. More details are available here. The outermost regions have a special status under the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (article 349) that provides for specific measures to support them, including the tailored application of EU law and access to EU programmes.
