Call for proposals - Support for bodies active at European level in the field of youth

This call for proposals relates to grants to be awarded for the year 2006 (1 January to 31 December). The grants are intended primarily to strengthen Community action in the field of youth and increase its effectiveness by promoting the bodies working in this field.

The programme supports the permanent activities of bodies pursuing an aim of general European interest in the field of youth or an objective which is part of the European Union's policy in that area.

These activities must contribute, or be capable of contributing, to the active participation of young citizens in public life and society and to the development and implementation of Community cooperation actions in the field of youth in the broad sense.

These activities must, in particular, relate to the subjects mentioned in the Commission's White Paper on a New Impetus for European Youth. In 2006, priority will be given to politically visible initiatives concerning the participation of young people in the process of European construction.
