Three Horizon funding programmes are currently open. If your organisation has a project that meets the criteria, you could apply for EU funding to further protect and promote the rights of the child and child participation.  

All the calls close on 16 September 2025.
 

Please note that all EU-funded projects must be jointly run by at least two organisations. A single organisation cannot receive EU funding. 

  1. Strengthening civic and democratic participation and support for common European values (addresses children) Proposals are expected to consider learning in formal educational settings and can also examine non-formal educational settings (e.g. extra-curricular activities, community service projects, youth clubs etc.). 
     

  2. Impacts of culture and the arts on health and well-being (has a specific priority for children) Research and innovation actions under this call will help promote our European way of life, contribute to a Europe fit for the digital age and to achieving the European Green Deal goals, as well as support an economy that works for people.
     

  3. Improving mental health outcomes for people in education, training and work (addresses children) Projects funded under this call should contribute to the following expected impacts in the Horizon Europe Strategic Plan 2025-2027: Strengthening social and economic resilience and sustainability; boosting inclusive growth and reducing vulnerabilities effectively.
