On 15 April, the Council of the European Union has unanimously adopted the Regulation setting up the ‘Europe for Citizens’ programme for the period 2014-2020.

ALDA has been looking forward to the adoption of the programme, as it is a key programme for our projects and activities – and this is why we are part of the Structured Dialogue with the European Commission.

By beginning of May, the programme guide that includes information on funding opportunities, application procedures and a calendar for the submission of applications will be published. The first deadline for submission of applications for town twinning projects, networks of twinned towns and remembrance projects is provisionally set for 4 June 2014; the second deadline for submission of applications for town twinning projects, networks of twinned towns and civil society projects is provisionally set for 1 September 2014.

For all our members interested in starting working on projects within the programme “Europe for Citizens” soon, we are also offering a master class tailored for the needs of local authorities and civil society organisations eager to develop projects on remembrance and civic participation.
