Call
Detailed Call Description
It should bring the EP closer to young people in peripheral regions of Europe, promote European democracy and create a two-way communication, raising awareness on what the EP does for them as young people and at the same time collecting ideas and expectations of young people from the local and national levels on the future of Europe.
A local EYE is organised under the EYE spirit and branding, and designed to be accessible (for young people who cannot afford travelling to Strasbourg to the central EYE) and inclusive (local EYE in national languages). A local EYE is a stand-alone event. It should not be organised as a sub-event of a bigger event (e.g. local EYE as part of a bigger festival and reduced to a tent of the latter).
A local EYE should also offer a diverse range of activities to attract as many young people as possible, and should not be limited to a single type of activity (e.g. a Parliament simulation) in order to allow a diverse audience to take part and reach out to young people who are less likely to already be involved in EU actions. Activities should not all be organised by the beneficiary, but co-created together with other youth and civil society organisations as well as public entities at European, national, regional and local level. Co-creation of activities with the European Parliament is also to be planned. These activities can be complemented by European Parliament’s own initiatives.
A local EYE should, as much as possible, involve cross-border cooperation.
Financing percentage by EU or other bodies / Level of Subsidy or Loan
Co-financing shall take the form of reimbursement of up to 80% of eligible costs actually incurred by the beneficiary and its affiliated entities.
