spaces for youth
What is a Space for Youth?
“Spaces for Youth” are:
Youth-focused: youth between 18 and 30 years old represents <75% of their “Space for Youth” project target beneficiaries;
Youth-led: <75% the governance bodies members of the “Space for Youth” project are between 18 and 30 years old;
And preferably youth-owned: the youth organisations are “owned” by a person or a collective of members between 18 and 30 years old.
They are designed by and for young people, enabling them to develop their leadership potential, express their voices, and access tailored support services. Inspired by the « European Spaces of Culture” by EUNIC, they are “hybrid spaces” that serves as a communal or informal gathering place.

In Round 2, six organizations selected from successful Round 1 beneficiaries (2 under Lot 2 and 4 under Lot 3) will receive EUR 40,000 each to scale their initiatives, also over 6–12 months.
