The European Charlemagne Youth Prize rewards youth-run projects that support democracy in Europe and promote cooperation and understanding both in Europe and internationally.
It highlights the daily work by young people in strengthening a shared sense of European identity and rewards their active participation in the development of Europe.
The award is run jointly by the European Parliament and the Foundation of the International Charlemagne Prize of Aachen, and was established in 2008.
Eligibility
To participate you need to:
- Have a European project with which you wish to apply;
- Be between 16 and 30 years old;
- Be a resident of one of the EU Member States
- You can submit a project either as an individual applicant or on behalf of an organisation or a group of young people.
Prizes
All submitted projects will be first evaluated by the national jury of the project’s Member State, which will select a single nomination.
The prize for the best project is EUR 7,500, the second, EUR 5000, and the third, EUR 2,500.
The three final laureates will be invited to visit the European Parliament (in Brussels or Strasbourg).
One representative from each of the three European laureates will be offered the opportunity of a Schuman traineeship in the European Parliament.
The representatives of all the 27 national projects selected will also be invited to a four-day trip to Aachen, Germany.
Deadline: 12 February 2024
