Europe for Citizens

The Europe for Citizens Programme was the European Commission’s funding programme to promote understanding between the Union and its citizens.

Overview

It ran from 2014 to 2020 and funded activities carried out by a range of not-for-profit organisations, local authorities and research institutes across Europe.

The specific aim of the programme was to contribute to citizens’ understanding of the EU’s history and diversity. It also aimed to foster European citizenship and encourage democratic engagement at EU level.

In Ireland, The Wheel was the National Contact Point for the Europe for Citizens Programme and provided:

  • Information on the programme criteria
  • Training and workshops
  • Application advice
  • Partner search support

To mark the programme’s end in Ireland, The Wheel hosted a special celebratory event online which you can watch here.

During this event, The Wheel also provided an overview of the Citizenship, Equality, Rights and Values (CERV) programme which is the Europe for Citizens successor programme for 2021 to 2027.
