Since a migration took place for several webpages of the European Commission the link in the call document that leads to the „Keeping Children Safe Child Safeguarding Standards” (page 10) does not work anymore. The correct link to use is the following: Report: Child safeguarding standards and how to implement them | European Commission (europa.eu).

Scope:
Networks of Towns will give towns and municipalities the possibility to deepen and intensify their cooperation and debate, develop sustainable networks and outline their long-term vision for the future of European integration.

The Commission expects Networks of Towns to reflect on a holistic narrative for Europe, one that is people-oriented, forward-looking and constructive, and that would be more engaging for the younger generation in particular. Projects may be based on the outcome of citizens’ consultations and may lead to debates about specific ways to create a more democratic EU, to encourage citizens to re-engage with the EU and help them develop a stronger sense of ownership of the European project.

Expected Results

An opportunity for towns and municipalities to develop larger-scale projects with the aim of increasing their projects’ impact and sustainability;

Possibility for beneficiaries to develop more thematic and policy-related projects;

Increasing citizens’ engagement in society and ultimately their active involvement in the democratic life of the Union;

Raising awareness and building knowledge on the 30th anniversary of the entry into force of the Maastricht Treaty and the adoption of the electoral directives, including through high-visibility events;

Lasting links with partner organisations;

Raised awareness of the benefits of diversity and the tackling of discrimination and racism;

Increase in and encouragement of mutual understanding and acceptance of European minorities, such as Roma;

Better information on the rights conferred by EU citizenship and their improved implementation in Member States;

Raised awareness and better provision of information to mobile EU citizens and their family members on their EU citizenship rights.
