    The call is launched in accordance with the 2024 Work Programme2 and will be managed by the European Commission, Directorate-General for Regional and Urban policy (DG REGIO).

    Youth4Cooperation reaches all age groups, from elementary school to young professionals that benefited from Interreg projects and macro-regional strategies actions. Based on this network of almost 1000 young people and given the next challenge for the European Commission to present the Cohesion Policy draft regulation 2028-2034, Directorate General for Regional and Urban Policy (DG REGIO) would like to start a vast consultation process towards young people.

    The aim is to carry out the consultation with digital tools and communication campaigns, using channels popular among young people. This does not exclude that applicants use their existing communication channels in their standard youth activities. The result of the consultation will have to be collected in a report with specific recommendations, which will delivered to DG REGIO. The Youth consultation which is the object of this call is part of a wider consultation exercise that involves all 2021-2027 Interreg programmes. Some coordination might be required with the programmes in the area covered by the successful beneficiaries.

    This call for proposals has the objective of selecting three beneficiaries which will secure the involvement of young people in the consultations on Cooperation post 2027 which will help shaping its future and make sure that youth voices and needs are fully taken into consideration in the next programming period 2028-2034. The voices of young people will be a positive and valuable addition to the reflection on the future shape of territorial cooperation.
