Calls for Proposals: Europe For Citizens Programme

The European Commission, Education, Audiovisual and Culture Executive Agency, has launched a call for proposals for the provision of the implementation of the programme actions: Active Citizens for Europe, Active civil society in Europe and Active European Remembrance.

The Europe for Citizens programme has the following specific objectives:

  • Bringing together people from local communities across Europe to share and exchange experiences, opinions and values, to learn from history and to build for the future;
  • Fostering action, debate and reflection related to European citizenship and democracy, shared values, common history and culture through cooperation within civil society organisations at European level;
  • Bringing Europe closer to its citizens by promoting Europe’s values and achievements, while preserving the memory of its past; and
  • Encouraging interaction between citizens and civil society organisations from all participating countries contributing to intercultural dialogue and bringing to the fore both Europe’s diversity and unity, with particular attention to activities aimed at developing closer ties between citizens from Member States of the European Union as constituted on 30 April 2004 and those from Member States which have acceded since that date.

The deadline dates for 2013 are: 01/02/2013 / 01/06/2013 / 01/09/2013
