Expected impact
- New and stronger cross-border partnerships.
- Better advocacy skills and more mutual learning.
- Improved public understanding of EU values, including equality and the rights of persons belonging to minorities.
Funding
Up to 20 projects will receive grants of up to €5,000 each. Projects may last up to 6 months and receive lump-sum funding in two instalments: 80% on signing the grant agreement and 20% after approval of the final reports.
Evaluation

The Selection Committee reviews the expert conclusions, may propose budget adjustments and approves the projects recommended for funding. Applications below the minimum scores or not in line with EU values are excluded.
