About this opportunity

The Interreg NPA Youth Call brings together organisations working with and for young people in the Northern Periphery and Arctic region. This funding opportunity supports transnational cooperation projects that help young people learn from each other, co-create solutions that meet real community needs, and gain a stronger voice to actively shape their future. Projects can focus on themes including resilient communities, natural and cultural heritage, mental health and wellbeing, youth skills and entrepreneurship, community development, and peer learning and mentorship. The program offers flexible project durations (6, 12, or 18 months) with corresponding budgets ranging from €50,000 to €200,000. Projects must be youth-led, youth-focused, and youth-inclusive, ensuring that young people (age 35 and below) play an active role in shaping projects from development through implementation. All projects must involve transnational partnerships across the NPA programme area, connecting organisations to exchange knowledge, test ideas, and implement solutions that benefit remote communities in the northernmost part of Europe.
