SIGN UP FOR LOCAL ACTIONS 2023

The Global Youth Coalition invites you to make an impact in your local community and support the realisation of the demands and commitments of the Global Youth Declaration with their peers at grassroots level by applying for the Local Actions call for applications 2023.

We encourage you to identify the most pressing road safety challenge in your city and propose a solution that effectively addresses it in one of the following priority areas: community mobilisation and awareness, peer-to-peer engagement, advocacy and infrastructure change.
We'll select the most innovative proposals and reward the winners with a 5,000 euro seed fund and mentoring, and we'll support you in developing a detailed project plan. Get ready and send us your applications today, by 15 January 2023 at 17:00 CET.

What are Local Actions?

A local action is a short- or medium-term grassroots action plan aimed at tackling the most pressing issues in the city or area to which it belongs. This project should have a tangible contribution to the Global Youth Declaration for Road Safety and a clear link to the Plan for the Decade of Action for Road Safety 2021-2030.

Projects must be designed, led and implemented by young people (18-35) and focus on one or more of the four priorities: community mobilisation and awareness, advocacy, peer empowerment and/or infrastructure change.
