In April 2024, the Programming Committee on Youth approved 26 pilot activity grants for local youth projects with a European dimension for a total amount of €348 396 euros. The awarded projects will be implemented in 16 member states. The awarded projects cover a wide variety of topics and target groups, such as enhancing youth participation at local and regional levels, advocating for rights-based youth policies, addressing mental health issues of LGBTI young people, engaging young people from Belarus in diversity campaigns, raising environmental awareness, supporting remembrance education, developing local youth councils, addressing artificial intelligence and its impact on young people, access to social rights, media literacy, the inclusion of young people with disabilities, and combating discrimination affecting Roma youth. Several projects tackle the development of youth work with young people from minorities, asylum seekers and rural youth, as well as mobile youth work. These grants concern applications received by the EYF at the 15 January 2023 deadline.
The next deadline for pilot activities is 15 May 2024. Pilot projects address young people’s needs and challenges at a local level, linked to the priorities of the Council of Europe’s youth sector. More information can be found here.
