Applications open for Norden 0-30 Funding Programme

The target group of the programme is children and young people up to the age of 30.

Funding Information

• For projects consisting of at least three Nordic countries, you can apply for up to 50 000 €.
• For projects consisting of two Nordic countries, you can apply for up to 10 000 €.

Eligible Projects

• You can apply for support for projects or networks that consist of cultural, political or social activities where children and young people are actively engaged in the process and are able to have a say in the planning, implementation and evaluation of the project.
• Project partners should always encourage democratic participation and ensure that the children and young people involved in the project gain greater influence on the project.
• Granted projects may begin 8 weeks after the application deadline within the Norden 0–30 grant programme.
• For example, a project may entail:
  • Networks: Either individual or a series of networking activities, such as meetings, conferences, workshops, camps, courses, or other activities designed to further develop and strengthen partnerships, provide opportunities for exchanging experiences, and to share resources for promotion efforts.
  • Production: This can include processes, campaign or information material, methodology material, reports, digital storytelling, or works of art designed to make children and young people more aware of their right to participate and influence.

Eligibility Criteria

• Grants are awarded to
  • organisations, groups, municipalities, institutions, associations and networks.
• Norden 0-30 supports projects with partners from two (2) or three (3) Nordic countries.
  • In projects consisting of partners from two (2) Nordic countries one of them must be Greenland, Iceland, Faroe Islands or Åland Islands.
  • At least three (3) Nordic countries must participate in projects that consist of three or more countries. In this case, Denmark, Finland, the Faroe Islands, Greenland, Iceland, Norway, Sweden and the Åland Islands count as Nordic countries.
• The applicant does not have to be young, but must represent a partner that either consists of, or has experience of, involving children and young people.
• It is also considered particularly important if the project involves co-operation with parties from Greenland, the Faroe Islands, Åland, or the North Calotte. In this context, the North Calotte means: the counties of Finnmark, Nordland, and Troms in Norway, Norrbotten County in Sweden, and the Lappi Region in Finland.
• In addition to the above, co-operation with Estonia, Lithuania and Latvia can be included in the application.
