AJITER promotes project financing opportunities for young people living in the Azores
AJITER - Associação Juvenil da Ilha Terceira will hold on March 7th, at 7pm, at the Angra do Heroísmo Cultural and Congress Center, a presentation session of a new support program that is boosting the region. Co-financed by the European Union and called “YOUTH 4 Outermost REGIONS” it aims to support a New Generation of Young Agents of Change for Inclusive and Sustainable Development".
This initiative consists of providing financial support to projects and actions led by young people in the outermost regions through the launch of two support lines that will finance young people and/or for young people with amounts between 5000 and 10,000 Euros.
Young people, individually or in teams, and organizations that work with young people are invited to propose actions to improve their local communities or regions and promote development – on any subject or topic they consider important.
Candidates must be between 15 and 24 years old on the closing date of the call and reside in the outermost regions involved.
Non-profit educational associations or institutions (public or private) that carry out necessary activities for young people aged between 15 and 24 and must be legally binding in the aforementioned regions.
The actions must have a duration of 6 months or 10 months, with the deadline for submitting applications being May 9, 2024, until 9:59 pm (local time in the Azores).
The implementation of the selected actions will begin on September 1, 2024.
Applications must be submitted electronically via the website https://youth4outermostregions.eu/
Applications can be made in English, French, Spanish or Portuguese, and the selection will be made based on applying a balance between the score obtained and its geographical location.
The selection process is guaranteed by a Selection Committee made up of a group of professional evaluators. The final list of actions selected for funding will be approved by the European Commission.
In the Azores, as already mentioned, AJITER is an entity promoting this joint initiative in the Azores, which extends to other outermost regions such as Madeira, the Canary Islands, São Martinho, Guadeloupe, Martinique, French Guiana, Mayotte and the island of Réunion.
