Engagement Actions By Change-makers

The expected results of the actions financed under this call are to:

• Build capacity and strategically engage with other civil society organisations (at national or local level) and active citizens (potential and existing change-makers) to support and facilitate their engagement activities and provide them with information and tools to effectively spread the message in favour of democratic participation (through together.eu community) in light of the forthcoming EE24.
• Raise awareness of citizens about the benefits brought by European parliamentary democracy, the powers the EP has to affect our daily lives, and why it is therefore important to vote in the EE24. Actions should inform the citizens on why and how to participate in EE24, to advance civic education and to build an informed and engaged electorate (also through together.eu community).
• Empower organisations and active citizens (change-makers) to increase participation in voting by mobilising their networks and communities further (through together.eu), as well as support and facilitate their initiatives.
• Support civil society organisations, change-makers and their networks and communities in the final voting phase (few days prior to EE24 and on the European Election Day(s)

The objectives of the actions financed under this call are:

• To grow awareness among European citizens from as diverse public as possible about the role and democratic values of the EU, provide understanding of the benefits that the EP provides, how EP affects our daily lives and why it is therefore important to vote by participating in the forthcoming EE24, also in the context of the together.eu community (delivering democratic engagement).
• To support increased non-partisan civic engagement of European citizens and organisations from as diverse groups as possible while promoting the idea of the importance of voting, thus encouraging active involvement (also as change-makers), with focus on mobilising voters in the run up to European Election Day(s), also in the context of the together.eu community.

Engagement actions by the change-makers (already registered members of the together.eu community) are low-scale communication actions or events implemented at local, national or transnational level (i.e. in up to three Member States) and on an online or offline basis by a legal person or a small group thereof having a legal personality and with a shorter implementation period.

Type of potential beneficiaries: Non-profit legal persons or groups thereof having legal personality. Applicants must be registered as members/volunteers of the together.eu community and aim at promoting European values at national or at pan-European level, as well as grow and mobilise the community.
