Call for Pilot Actions is now open
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.
Key facts:
