Description
The European Commission, through its Representation in the Czech Republic, selects partners to operate EUROPE DIRECT information centres from March 1, 2027 to December 31, 2030. The call aims to establish at least one centre in each of two regions: Karlovarský kraj and Kraj Vysočina. Centres bring the EU closer to citizens through locally relevant information, dialogue, European civic education, and participation in European democratic life.
Supported work includes public events, school and teacher sessions, media and social-media campaigns, educational materials, cultural activities, and media-literacy initiatives. Activities should reflect local communication needs and the Commission’s 2024–2029 priorities. Partners work with local communities, EU institutions, other information networks, and local multipliers under framework partnerships implemented through annual grants.
