CERV | Capacity building and awareness raising on the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights

The Charter Strategy underlines the importance of strengthening the application of the Charter in the Member States, through awareness raising and capacity building initiatives. Accordingly, projects under this priority are intended to raise the fundamental rights knowledge of relevant actors. Building on the central role of civil society organisations and human rights defenders, funded projects could involve national, regional and local authorities as partners (co-applicants), with the aim of supporting joint capacity building and awareness raising efforts.

The projects funded under this priority could address the capacity building and awareness raising needs on the Charter in general, or they could focus on one or several of the topics below:

• Rights enshrined in the Charter and awareness of the Charter’s scope of application.
• Protecting fundamental rights in the digital age.

Further information on the call and the submission criteria can be found on the Funding and Tenders Portal of the European Commission.
