Youth: EU Commission, €5 million to youth associations in Europe with “European Youth Together”

The European Commission has today launched the “European Youth Together” call for proposals under the Erasmus+ Programme that will be open until 28 July. €5 million are available to support local youth organizations throughout Europe. “The COVID-19 pandemic is undoubtedly disrupting young people’s social and economic prospects, and the capacity of youth organisations to support them now and for a prolonged period of time is imperative. The youth sector can take positive action and be part of a sustainable long-term recovery”, said Mariya Gabriel, European Commissioner for Innovation, Research, Culture, Education and Youth. “The call we have launched today will focus on support for youth organisations so they can take action on inclusive participation and solidarity, also in line with the challenges related to digital skills and green lifestyles”. Youth NGOs can propose projects involving at least five partners in five different countries that have the capacity to mobilise young people in partnerships throughout the Erasmus+ Programme Countries.
