Until 22 April, informal youth initiative groups from Jelgava are invited to submit project applications for the “Young People Can!” competition in order to apply for financial support of up to EUR 350 to implement their proposed project. This competition has been held in Jelgava for the seventh year, and the total funding allocated by the municipality for this year is EUR 4,900.
The main objective of the competition is to promote the involvement of Jelgava’s young people in the city’s development processes by using financial support to encourage young people to spend their free time productively – engaging in physical activities, as well as developing their understanding of values and supporting self-development.
Projects eligible for financial support may provide for the organisation of:
- non-formal learning activities and events;
- events promoting youth cohesion and participation;
- youth involvement in voluntary work;
- physical activities that do not require purposeful and long-term prior training in the relevant sport (for example, open training sessions, amateur tournaments, and the purchase of sports equipment);
- creative self-expression (for example, creative workshops, improvisational theatre classes, the creation of exhibitions, and cultural and artistic activities);
- business activities and events, including social entrepreneurship;
- educational activities concerning nature conservation, green thinking, and other environmental issues.
Please note that the competition project application must be submitted by the youth initiative group – consisting of at least two young people aged 13 to 25 – to the municipal institution “Community Centre” by 2:30 p.m. on 22 April
