Eye2025 - Coordination Of The Eye Village Programme

The expected outcomes of this call for proposals are the following:

• empower youth and civil society organisations in the process of the co-creation and co-organisation of the EYE Village
• leave a lasting impression among the EYE2025 participants of the relevance of EU decisions on their lives and feeling European
• encourage the EYE participants to generate and develop ideas for the future of Europe and to increase their involvement in the future of Europe
• encourage the EYE participants, especially those with fewer opportunities, or belonging to vulnerable groups, to become more active citizens and to stay in touch with the European Parliament.

The main objective of this call is the design, implementation and coordination of the programme in the EYE Village during EYE2025 aimed at:

• offering young people opportunities to learn about European democracy as the foundation of the EU and about the key role of citizens and civil society organisations in the democratic process;
• inspiring and engaging young people as European citizens through meetings with European decision-makers and Members of the European Parliament (MEPs);
• encouraging young people to become active citizens and engage in European democracy

The EYE (European Youth Event) is a biennial event that takes place at the European Parliament in Strasbourg and online, and brings together thousands of young people from all over the European Union and beyond, to share and shape their ideas on the future of Europe. It is a unique opportunity for 16 to 30 year olds to interact, inspire each other and exchange their views with experts, activists, content creators and decision-makers, right in the heart of European democracy.

For this edition, the European Parliament is looking for one single grant beneficiary who will be in charge of the design, implementation and coordination of the outdoor programme in the EYE Village. To this end, the beneficiary will launch its own call for proposals among a wide range of youth and civil society organisations in order to provide them with a financial support for activities to be organised in the EYE Village, and will coordinate the set up and implementation of the outdoor programme.
