Funding from €5000 - €150,000
There are four different types of projects you can apply for under Europe for Citizens. Deadlines open at different times, depending on the type of project.
Click on each project type below to find out more about it and visit our page on Project Examples for inspiration.
1. European Remembrance Projects
Projects funded under this strand will invite reflection on European history and on common values. For example, you can do a project commemorating a date in history or reflecting on the causes of totalitarian regimes in Europe's modern history. The strand often appeals to cultural organisations or historical groups.
Preference will be given to projects which encourage tolerance, mutual understanding, intercultural dialogue and reconciliation.
2. Civil Society Projects
This measure supports 'transnational' projects (lots of partners around Europe) that are organised by groups that are expert at directly involving citizens. Projects gather citizens from different horizons on activities directly linked to Union policies, with a view to giving them an opportunity to participate in the policy-making process of the EU.
3. Twinning Projects
What do you think when you think about Town Twinning? You probably picture signs on the outskirts of towns and formal agreements between municipalities all over Europe. But, did you know, that community and cultural organisations in Ireland can also engage in short-term town twinning projects? Grants contribute towards the costs of individuals to travel to a different European town to take part in events that focus on concrete issues from the European agenda. This year is the European Year of Cultural Heritage so priority will be given to projects that promote the celebration, exchange, and promotion of cultural heritage.
4. Network of Towns Projects
Local authorities and nonprofits working together across Europe may wish to develop networks of towns to make their cooperation more sustainable. Networks of Towns are a strong link that bind municipalities. Networks created by a series of town twinning links should be used for developing thematic and long-lasting cooperation between towns.
