Deadline: 10-Nov-22
The European Commission (EC) is accepting proposals for Cultural Programme to complement the activities organized under Categories 1 and 3 by offering activities that create cultural understanding and acceptance through art, overcoming linguistic barriers.
Art provides a universal framework for discussing values. It appeals to a wide audience and contributes to the development of the soft skills needed for responsible citizenship. Category 2 aims at:
- offering an art programme that brings together EYE participants and local youth;
- engaging young participants in thinking about issues in today’s society through art;
- supporting emerging artists from the European Union and encouraging EYE participants and local youth to discover emerging artists from the European Union;
- raising awareness on the contribution of art to the European Union;
- animating the outdoor and indoor venues of the EYE.
Objectives
- The main objective of the call is to build and strengthen European citizenship among young people, raise awareness about how the EU works and the democratic role of the European Parliament, and empower them to become active citizens, encouraging their active involvement and participation in the European Elections 2024.
- The specific objectives of the call are common to the three categories of activities:
- organise outdoor activities in line with the EYE values, which will complement the inside and online programmes organised by the European Parliament and its partners, engaging during two days between 3.000 and 6.000 young people aged between 16 and 30;
- engage youth and civil society organisations in the process of the co-creation and co-organisation of the EYE;
- propose actions which support Parliament’s strategic engagement process in view of the European Elections 2024, focusing on the expansion of the together.eu community;
- create conditions for young people to generate and develop ideas for the future of Europe, that will be collected at the EYE and presented to the Members of the European Parliament as reference for their work;
- encourage diversity (i.e. wide representation of views and beliefs, cultural diversity of Europe, social and ethnic background, etc.), gender balance and inclusiveness (e.g. for participants with disabilities);
- implement follow-up actions to promote the outcomes of EYE2023, notably in the framework of the 2024 European elections campaign;
- ensure consistency with the EP communication guidelines and branding.
