Improve the inclusion of mobile EU citizens and their political and societal participation, particularly in underrepresented groups

Description of call
"Improve the inclusion of mobile EU citizens and their political and societal participation, particularly in underrepresented groups"

Project activities should foster the successful inclusion and participation of mobile EU citizens and their family members in the host EU country's civic and/or political life and/or their participation in the democratic life of the EU, particularly underrepresented groups such as women and young people. This complementary call for action grants is to elaborate on the increased focus on the exercise of democratic rights in the run-up to the European elections, and of the work being funded through the European Parliament's pilot projects on e-voting and e-democracy, as a part of the Commission’s wider work on citizens’ participation.
