A budget of 900 thousand euros is available
Promoting interaction with people who have direct experience of poverty and social exclusion: Structured dialogue with people with lived experience of poverty is the ESF-2027 PEP ENGAGEMENT call published by the European Commission.
The initiative aims to develop a participatory approach that gives voice and space to people's real experiences, transforming them into European Union social policies. The goal is to create a platform for dialogue between vulnerable people, civil society organizations, and European institutions, and to implement interventions that can spark positive change.
Eligible proposals include, for example, the organization of workshops, assemblies, and thematic meetings to promote effective interaction with EU institutions; capacity-building through training courses, mentoring, and access to tools aimed at developing confidence and the ability to express oneself in European political contexts.
The call, which has a budget of €900,000, will fund consortia of at least two public or private non-profit organizations with proven expertise and experience, including at the European or international level, with the aim of facilitating the participation of people with direct experience of poverty in decision-making processes.
