The European Commission has published a new call for proposals under the European Solidarity Corps. More than €96 million is being made available to support solidarity activities for young people in 2019.

Education, Culture, Youth and Sport Commissioner Tibor Navracsics said: "Since its creation almost exactly two years ago, the Solidarity Corps has grown to become the EU's flagship initiative creating opportunities for young people to support communities and individuals in need.With this call, the EU is continuing to respond to the more than 90,000 young people who have already declared themselves ready to engage in the activities of the Corps. By participating in this initiative, young people lend a helping hand where it is needed, while gaining invaluable experience that will stay with them for the rest of their lives."

Projects eligible for funding from the Solidarity Corps range from volunteering projects and partnerships to traineeships and jobs, in areas such as protecting European cultural heritage, fostering the social inclusion of people with fewer opportunities and tackling environmental and climate challenges.

Groups of young people registered in the European Solidarity Corps Portal, as well as public and private bodies established in member states which have received the relevant quality label, may apply for funding. Deadlines for submission of projects fall between 5 February and 1 October 2019 depending on the type of activity. Today's call follows the first one launched in August 2018. The evaluation of these applications is now reaching its final stages. Grants will be awarded before the end of the year,and the first activities are set to start at the beginning of 2019.
