Call	Call for proposals for the co-financing of citizens’ engagement actions under the multi-annual work programme for grants in the area of communication 2020-2021
Description of call "Call for proposals for the co-financing of citizens’ engagement actions under the multi-annual work programme for grants in the area of communication 2020-2021"	The expected results of the actions are to raise awareness about the role and democratic values of the European Parliament as the voice of EU citizens and to engage more deeply with them, notably via the community “together.eu”. Such actions should primarily target those EU citizens who have turned more demanding towards the European Union, specifically since the outbreak of the Covid19-pandemic, as well as citizens who show some interest in EU affairs. Special attention should be paid to reaching out to minority communities and citizens who are less likely to already be involved in EU action in some way. The activities supported include but are not limited to: - Organisation of a local European Youth Event, ensuring consistency with past European Youth Events, including a participants’ registration system, a participants’ feedback system, logistics and security, etc. - Development of a programme in a spirit of co-design and co-creation with young people, for example through partnerships with a number of youth organisations; - Inviting speakers who can debate with young people on various issues from both local and European perspectives, such as policy experts, MEPs, etc. - Communication strategy outlining how it is foreseen to maximise the visibility of the event via a mix of media, including on dedicated online channels before and after the event, e.g. through social media and specific tools such as videos; - Promotional and welcome kit based on the EYE visual identity adapted to the local context.
