Call content
short description
The objective of the topic is to provide structural support, referred to as operating grants, to European non-governmental organisations (ENGOs) and EU-wide networks active in the field of youth.
Call objectives
- Raise awareness of the EU Youth Strategy including the European Youth Goals, through actions to engage, connect and empower youth;
- Increase commitment and cooperation of youth civil society actors with public authorities for the implementation of policies in areas relevant for young people;
- Boost youth stakeholder participation, including by building upon the potential of digital communication alongside other forms of participation;
- Boost youth civil society involvement in the dissemination of policy and programme actions including results and good practices among their membership and beyond.
The Topic also embraces the four general priorities of the Von der Leyen Commission as embedded in the Erasmus+ programme namely – inclusion and diversity, - digital transformation, - environment and fight against climate change as well as participation in democratic life.
These general objectives draw on the assets of youth ENGOs and EU-wide networks and on their capacity to reach out to large numbers of interested parties and to advocate EU policy priorities. They should therefore be clearly embedded in the work plans, activities and deliverables of the applicant organisations.

Expected effects and impacts
The EU Youth Strategy 2019-2027 focuses on three core areas of action:
- ENGAGE which aims towards a meaningful civic, democratic, economic, social, cultural and political participation of young people;
- CONNECT which is to foster different and inclusive forms of learning mobility for young people across the European Union and beyond, to make new connections, relations and exchange of experience, as well as engagement in solidarity and volunteering activities;
- EMPOWER which aims to encourage young people to take charge of their own lives.
In line with the EU Youth Strategy, the Topic will promote activities aiming at engaging, connecting and empowering young people.
Expected results
Eligible activities must be directly linked to the objectives and priorities of the present Topic and must be coherent, consistent and cost-effective. Activities may be performed at European, cross- border, national, regional or local level. The activities should be described covering 2023.
The costs of general administrative expenditure necessary for the running of the organisations may also be covered. The activities must be directly linked to the objectives and priorities of the Call and must be detailed in an annual work programme for 2023.
The organisations active in the field of youth that will be supported under this call are expected to carry out activities such as (the following is an indicative non-exhaustive list):
- Activities facilitating access and participation of stakeholders in the implementation of EU policy priorities in the field of youth, including those activities building on the achievements and contributing to the long-lasting legacy of the European Year of Youth;
- Exchanges of experience and good practice; networking and partnerships with other stakeholders;
- Capacity-building for the member organisations, including peer learning, training, advisory, guidance and coaching activities to improve the effectiveness of policy actions;
- Initiatives and events for developing the membership of the ENGO/EU-wide networks;
- Awareness-raising, information, dissemination and promotion activities (seminars, workshops, campaigns, meetings, public debates, consultations, etc.) on EU policy priorities in the field of youth and on EU funding instruments (EU programmes, in particular Erasmus+, European solidarity Corps) to support these priorities;
- Cooperation activities to increase policy impact on target groups, sectors and/or systems.
All the above activities should contribute to widening the outreach towards young people to ensure a diversity of voices, reach young people within and beyond youth organisations and youth with fewer opportunities, thereby using a variety of traditional and digital channels.
