BackNew funding opportunity for you(th)!
Are you an organisation working with young people in the Northern Periphery and Arctic? Do you want to meet like-minded peers across 7 countries? Do you have an idea to help youth shaping the future of their regions? Apply for the Youth Call!
The Interreg Northern Periphery and Arctic Programme (NPA) has launched the Youth Call, a new funding opportunity inviting organisations to develop transnational projects with and for young people across northern and peripheral regions.
The call is open to partners from Finland, Sweden, Norway, Iceland, Greenland, the Faroe Islands and Ireland. It supports cooperation on challenges many young people in these regions share, including limited access to education and jobs, long distances between communities, and the impacts of climate change.
Through the Youth Call, the NPA aims to help organisations and communities work together across borders, exchange ideas and test new approaches. Projects should be developed together with young people, focus on issues that matter to them, and give them an active role in shaping activities and solutions.
Funding is available for smaller, short-term projects:
• up to EUR 50,000 for 6 months
• up to EUR 100,000 for 12 months
• up to EUR 200,000 for 18 months
Projects can cover themes such as resilient communities, natural and cultural heritage, mental health and wellbeing, youth skills and entrepreneurship, community development, and mentorship.
Organisations interested in applying can learn more on the Youth Call page or contact the NPA Joint Secretariat to discuss project ideas.
