The EYF's Call for Long-Term Youth Partnership Projects aims to support youth NGOs that wish to go beyond one-off events and conduct multi-component, strategic, and long-term initiatives. In this context, projects are expected to be designed as a set of activities that will create a lasting impact in the fields of youth rights, democracy, and participation.
