Project summary

CIVIC INCUBATOR is a partnership project for promotion and protection of European values by allowing grassroots civil society informal groups and active citizens in Europe to act more effectively and strengthen their impact on the society, both locally and on EU level. With this project we aim to promote EU values such as: freedom, right to associate, social inclusion, European citizenship and strengthen the application of values outlined inter alia in the European Charter of Fundamental Rights. We want to get to know informal groups and foster them as they are contributing a lot for the benefit of the whole community. We believe they are the future of Europe. With our activities: research, Ideathon, experience exchange, incubation package, debates, policy recommendations we aim to reach a total number of 500 active participants. The expected results are: to define a common European framework for support of informal groups, exchange experience between NGOs in support of informal groups, enhance the activity of informal groups and build their capacity to become more effective and impactful. Those results will be reached thanks to 10 deliverables produced within the project. Thanks to those results and close cooperation with our target group we will be able to answer the main question we ask ourselves in this proposal:

“How the future of citizens-centred Europe could look like?”
