Introduction
The European Union is made of its citizens and for its citizens! Encouraging and facilitating citizens' wider involvement in the European Union and what it stands for is of great importance. This ranges from the need to increase their participation in current affairs to the need of ensuring a broader understanding of the history of the European Union (hereinafter “Union") and its origins in the aftermath of two world wars.
Objectives
This Strand will support activities that invite to reflection on European cultural diversity and on common values in the broadest sense. In this context, it aims to finance projects reflecting on causes of totalitarian regimes in Europe's modern history (specially but not exclusively Nazism that led to the Holocaust, Fascism, Stalinism and totalitarian communist regimes) and to commemorate the victims of their crimes.
The Strand also encompasses activities concerning other defining moments and reference points in recent European history. In particular, it will give preference to actions which encourage tolerance, mutual understanding, intercultural dialogue and reconciliation as a means of moving beyond the past and building the future, in particular with a view to reaching the younger generation. The projects under this strand are expected to include different types of organisations (local authorities, NGOs, research institutes, etc.) or developing different types of activities (research, nonformal education, public debates, exhibitions, etc.) or involving citizens coming from different target groups.
Size of grants
Maximum eligible grant for a project: 100 000 EUR.
Deadline: 01 March 2017 and 01 September 2017
