Funding Active Citizenship, Rights and Equality: Opportunities for the Community & Voluntary Sector
Funding Active Citizenship, Rights and Equality: Opportunities for the Community & Voluntary Sector
Want to access funding to tackle key social challenges like discrimination, inclusion, human rights protection, or fostering civic engagement?
Join us for an online event where we’ll explore how the EU’s Citizens, Equality, Rights, and Values (CERV) Programme can help support your projects addressing equality, democracy, and fundamental rights!
The EU’s Citizenship, Equality, Rights and Values (CERV) Programme aims to sustain and further develop open, rights-based, democratic, equal and inclusive societies based on the rule of law. It supports projects in areas such as union values, rule of law, equality (including gender equality), citizens' engagement and participation, and the prevention of violence.
This session will provide a guide to funding opportunities through the CERV programme, practical steps for applying, and success stories from past beneficiaries.
During the event, we will cover:
- An introduction to the CERV programme: Discover its objectives and focus areas
- Current open calls explained: Learn about the types of projects that qualify for support
- Supports available and practical tips from the CERV Citizen’s Forum
- Case Study: learn from your peers who have successfully implemented CERV-funded projects
- Q&A: Get all your questions answered.
Looking for partners to collaborate on your next CERV project? Meet potential partners from Ireland and across the EU for your next CERV project in our free online partner matchmaking event on Tuesday, 5 February, 10.00 - 12.00pm. Sign up here!
