EU and UK Youth organizations – Stronger Together for Youth Leadership 2024

Connecting the UK and the EU through a Youth Network

Call for proposals

The EU/UK Youth Stronger Together programme aims to connect young people from the UK and the EU in meaningful and productive ways. We have identified that there are limited opportunities for UK/EU collaboration and collective voice and action, especially when it comes to youth policy issues.

To that end – and as part of the programme – we are announcing a call for a Networking Grant for the creation of a UK/European Youth Network. This network will explore the collaboration between UK and European youth organisations, which will work together to advocate for change.

About Stronger Together for Youth Leadership

Through the activities of our Youth Leadership strand, we aim to strengthen the UK youth sector and enable connections with youth organisations, policy makers and practitioners. We work with youth leaders and representatives of youth organisations aged 18–30 across the UK and EU.

Activities include:

• online focused discussions with youth organisations
• participation of representatives of UK youth organisations in international networking events for young people
• creation of a network of youth organisations across the EU and UK
• youth policy events in the UK.
