Call for Pilot Actions - Deadline Extended

YOU-DARE (Youth Debunking the Gendered Arguments of Far-Right Extremism) is launching a Call for Pilot Actions to fund 10 grassroots initiatives across Europe, each addressing the ways far-right movements use gendered narratives to recruit, radicalise, and mobilise young people.

We're looking for civil society organisations, youth groups, schools, sports and cultural associations, media actors, local authorities, and research institutions ready to test practical, gender-sensitive responses in their own communities, whether through community-building, education, creative content, digital engagement, or exit and de-radicalisation work.

Following strong interest in the Call, the deadline for the YOU-DARE Call for Pilot Actions has been extended by one week.

 

New deadline: 13 September 2026, 23:59 CEST

 

Please note: Applications submitted after 6 September 2026, 23:59 CEST and before the new deadline will be accepted and fully evaluated. They will be recorded as late submissions, and a deduction will be applied to their total score in the final ranking.
