European Year of Youth grants

This program targeted young European citizens by empowering organizations to build pan-European networks and provide training, fostering active engagement in democratic life and the European Elections 2024. The geographical scope covered European Union Member States.

The program funded projects centered on democratic participation and capacity building for young Europeans, primarily through two types of actions: establishing pan-European networks of young advocates and providing them with skills and tools for active democratic engagement and participation in the European Elections 2024.

The European Year of Youth grants program provided financial support in the form of project grants. A total budget of 1,000,000 € was allocated for the 2022 call.

Key conditions for applicants and projects were outlined in the call document, covering admissibility, eligibility (including eligible countries), financial and operational capacity, exclusion criteria, award criteria, submission and evaluation processes, indicative timelines, and legal/financial setup of the grants.

The application process involved preparing proposals using standard forms and adhering to specific submission guidelines and deadlines. The evaluation and award process followed defined criteria and timelines, with detailed information available in official program documents and the Online Manual.

The European Year of Youth grants program operated under a specific legal framework, primarily authorized by an official call for proposals and governed by key EU financial regulations and guidelines, ensuring transparency and compliance in its implementation.
