Are you between 16 and 30 years old, live in an EU country, and lead a project that promotes democratic values, European identity, or youth participation? If so, this prize could be for you. Each year, the European Parliament and the Charlemagne Prize of Aachen Foundation organise the European Charlemagne Youth Prize to recognise youth-led projects that strengthen democracy, active participation, and European integration.
Participation involves two stages: first, a national call in which each Member State selects one project, followed by a European jury that chooses the three continental winners. In addition to recognition, the cash prizes are €7,500, €5,000, and €2,500 for the top three, and winners attend official ceremonies and have the opportunity to visit the European Parliament.
If you have a project with a European impact, start preparing it now. Check the details of the next call: criteria, deadlines, and requirements, review previous winners, and register before 30 January. Your initiative could become part of European history!
