Combination of capacity-building & citizens’ engagement actions

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

• An increased engagement of European citizens from as diverse public as possible with the construction of a vibrant European democracy, thus encouraging their active involvement as change-makers in the European Elections 2024 communication campaign;
• An increased awareness among European citizens from as diverse public as possible about the actions of the European Union and its institutions, in particular the European Parliament;
• The establishment of pan-European participatory channels, connecting the European Parliament with its citizens and encouraging their active participation in together.eu, the platform of the European Parliament.

The principal objective of the call is to encourage and to facilitate the active engagement of a wide network of European citizens around the European Elections 2024.

The European Parliament is looking to co-finance projects articulating a coherent, consistent and cost efficient work programme encompassing two types of actions: to encourage and support citizens, who volunteer to become elections change-makers by organising capacity building actions offline and online, on the one hand, and to engage with citizens through offline and online communication activities on the other.

Applicants who wish to submit proposals for both action categories 1 (capacity-building) and 2 (citizens’ engagement) may submit a proposal under action category 3.

The action category 3 consists of:

1) The design and implementation of capacity building through training and other actions, aiming at providing change-makers with skills, competences, tools and motivation to play an active role in the democratic life and in the promotion of the democratic values, especially by mobilising their community to participate in the European Elections in 2024.

2) Communication actions or a series of communication actions, offline and/or online, informing citizens about the European elections 2024 and supporting democratic engagement among citizens.
