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.
