Call for Decentralised Projects
FYEG is launching EU and You!, an opportunity for all its candidate and full MOs to design and implement campaigns and dissemination activities to promote, analyse, and raise awareness on the projects implemented and/or funded by the EU at the local, regional or national level by choosing one EU project and designing activities and/or campaign to promote it amongst the citizens.
This activity is part of FYEG’s project “Feminist, Diverse, Democratic, Sustainable and Social Europe 2023”, supported by the Citizens, Equality, Rights and Values programme of the European Commission.
FYEG will grant between 5,000 EUR and 10,000 EUR per project. The applicant can design a project with a bigger budget if needed, bear the extra expenses with its own resources or through other funders, and indicate the amount requested from FYEG.
This opportunity is also open to MOs established in non-EU states, for which different requirements apply including the possibility to lower the minimum amount granted by FYEG. Non-EU MOs interested in this programme are strongly advised to contact FYEG office before preparing their application in order to discuss the conditions.
With this activity, FYEG’s MOs have the possibility to:
organise dissemination activities and/or campaigns in their local contexts;
develop project management experience;
expand their understanding of EU affairs and democratic processes and their effect on their communities, plus implement strategies to share and promote it;
analyse the impact of public policies at different levels;
identify relevant stakeholders at the institutional level and in social movements and establish channels and processes of cooperation to increase the outreach of the actions and the involvement of CSOs in decision-making processes.
FYEG will organise an online information session in March for all the interested MOs. This info-session will include a presentation of the Grant program with explanation of the practical details of the application and a Q&A session for potential applicants. Participants will also have the opportunity to learn more about the actions implemented by the EU at the Member State level and their impact, through a presentation and Q&A session with a panel of experts.
The applicant MO will design an online or in real life dissemination activity (conference, seminar, educational activity or training, political discussion, networking forum…) or a campaign (online or offline) to raise awareness on a EU project of their choice being implemented by the EU at the local, regional, or national level. More specifically, the following activities will be considered for funding:
Online and/or offline awareness raising / dissemination activity (including conference, educational event, media creation and publication);
Online and/or offline campaign (including design and production of campaign materials, implementation of campaign actions and sponsored ads);
Online and/or offline training on campaigning for the organisation (only in combination with a campaign activity, see point 2);
The projects must be implemented between the 1st of June 2023 and 31st of October 2023. The awarded organisation is responsible to submit the appropriate report as described in the call document as soon as possible, and latest one month after the implementation of the activity.
This grant will be considered as income for the calculation of the member organisation membership fee to FYEG in 2024 (calculated on the 2023 financial report).
