OPEN CALLS

Open Call for Locals to join Next Chapter Europe

 

AEGEE-Europe and JEF Europe have teamed up to launch "Next Chapter Europe - Youth Participation in the Conference on the Future of Europe”, aiming to place the future of Europe back into the hands of the youth!

We need Locals who can get involved by organizing events in their regions in order to reach out to youth in their communities.

Locals will have the opportunity to both learn more about the issues Europe is facing, and to contribute to creating solutions for these challenges. As a Local group, you also have the chance to create partnerships with NGOs and get involved with Next Chapter Europe's advocacy efforts!

This initiative is co-funded by the European Parliament, which means that Locals can apply for a grant to help execute their ideas!

We have a total of 27 grants available for motivated Locals, which will be supported by our project team in carrying out their activities.

To apply, fill in this form by the 17th of May 2021 at 23:59 CEST.

For information about the project, or the application form, please reach out to the project team at [log in to unmask].
