OUR DONORS AND PARTNERS

This initiative empowers young Europeans to actively engage in shaping the EU’s economic and political future through inclusive, high-level platforms where they will meet with EU decision-makers, experts, and industry leaders and co-create youth-led policy recommendations. The consortium is led by Stand For Europe and composed of partners from all over Europe (A Seat At The Table, Mano Europa, The European Academy Berlin, the Polish Robert Schuman Foundation, Group of the European Youth for Change, PILCROW, the Cyprus Youth Clubs Organization, and FELCOS Umbria).

Having achieved a perfect score of 15/15 in the Commission’s evaluations, EDYN HQ will receive part of a 4 million euro grant from early 2025 to the end of 2027. The funds will be shared with our Consortium partners: Austrian Institute of Technology (Consortium Lead), Strategic Design Scenarios, WeDo, Missions Publiques, Fraunhofer Institute of Systems and Innovation Research, Institute of Philosophy and Sociology, Polish Academy of Sciences, European Partnership for Democracy, European University Institute, European Youth Forum, and Make.org.

This grant will enable EDYN HQ to organize workshops, policy debates, youth-led advocacy campaigns, and engagements with institutions and policymakers across all EDYN country chapters and European capitals.

EDYN HQ is administering a €500K grant until late 2025 with partners like DYPALL (Consortium Lead), Assembly of the European Regions, Europiamo, Nordland, YEPP Europe, and SQ LEARN. Activities include EU publications featuring EDYN success stories, a study visit to Bratislava and Vienna, participation in a Summer Academy for Young Leaders in Norway, study trips to Paris and Brussels, an advocacy trip to Strasbourg, and a final conference in Portugal. These projects aim to empower EDYN youth in policy-making and civil society, influencing future European policies.

The project will empower EDYN members in Albania, Montenegro, and North Macedonia to advocate for greater youth participation in their countries’ EU integration process. After deepening their knowledge of how to run effective advocacy campaigns during three capacity-building trainings, participants will lead their own advocacy campaigns on youth’s role in enlargement negotiations. They will engage with institutions and policymakers responsible for EU-related reforms and they will reach the public through an online awareness campaign, which will feature content tailored to local nuances and in local languages.
