The EU's Europe for citizens programme seeks to bridge the perceived gap between the general public and the institutions of the European Union. From 2007 to 2013, it will fund activities which promote active European citizenship, build an inclusive European identity and promote common ownership of the European project. It puts citizens in the spotlight and responds to the need to improve citizen participation in the construction of Europe.

What is Europe? 00:00:00

Europe. A Europe of nations. Numerous states with numerous languages. 00:00:06

Europe. Numerous cities. 00:00:12

Towns of incomparable interest. 00:00:16

Europe. Countless regions which share common ground across its borders. 00:00:23

Europe. Many million citizens that have a lot in common. 00:00:37

Europe is composed of the diversity of its citizens. 00:00:44

In Brussels and Strasbourg, they find their political centre. 00:00:47

More and more Europeans enter the political stage themselves. 00:00:53

Citizens that are dedicated to everyday life and engage in numerous projects. 00:00:57

The European Commission supports Europe-centred initiatives, projects, organisations and networks 00:01:03

with a string of programmes. For the period 2007 to 2013, a new programme 00:01:10

has been brought to life. Europe for Citizens. 00:01:17

Aiming at four objectives. Citizens participation. 00:01:22

Sense of European identity. Sense of ownership. 00:01:28

Tolerance and mutual understanding. This is Active European Citizenship. 00:01:35

The programme is based on four actions. 00:01:41

Action 1. Active Citizens for Europe. Support citizens in direct contact. 00:01:44

One base for the encounters is town twinning agreements, enabling citizens simply to come 00:01:52

together. The programmes support cross-border relationships 00:01:57

and understanding, and create citizen networks from various European backgrounds. 00:02:02

Projects to provide citizens on a regional and a European level with opportunities to 00:02:09

participate directly in the construction of Europe will be supported. 00:02:13

Action 2. Supports Active Civil Society for Europe. 00:02:20

This includes think tanks, non-profit organisations, trade unions and societies that co-operate 00:02:28

across European borders. Organisations that deal with transnational 00:02:34

and European issues, and give input to European policy making. 00:02:40

Action 2 also supports civil society projects, like the International Coordination of Young 00:02:48

Christian Workers in Rome, or the Friends of the Earth in Malta, both winners of the 00:02:54

Golden Star 2006. They brought together participants from up 00:02:59

to 10 countries. In Action 3, Together for Europe, high visibility 00:03:04

events like the Golden Stars Award, or the May the 9th celebration and the Citizenship 00:03:12

Forum are supported. Events that make Europe more visible and concrete 00:03:18

for the citizens. The aim of projects supported under Action 00:03:23

4, entitled Active European Remembrance, is to keep alive the memory of the victims of 00:03:33

Nazism and Stalinism. It is important to improve the knowledge and 00:03:40

understanding of present and future generations about what took place in concentration camps 00:03:45

and other places of mass civilian extermination, and why. 00:03:51

The strengthening of European identity. This is the aim of the four actions of Europe 00:04:09

for Citizens programme. This objective will be supported by more than 00:04:15

200 million euros in the following years. The uncomplicated application process, swift 00:04:19

decisions and rapid grants, will enable dedicated Europeans to build bridges for meeting other 00:04:26

dedicated Europeans. Europe is as strong as the engagement of 00:04:33

its citizens. 00:04:38
