You may recall that in the recent years the European Region has been increasingly trying to promote the use of as well as the accessibility to external sources of funding for Scouting in Europe.

Several efforts have been made to inform NSO/NSAs about European funding opportunities and good results have been achieved in terms of support to regional and national events and projects.

We have the pleasure to share with you the first of two documents that will hopefully be useful to you and your organisation: “Funding opportunities for NSOs and NSAs in Europe – Issue 1”. The document is a working tool for all NSOs and NSAs, aiming to offer comprehensive information about the different funding opportunities available in Europe. It will be added to as further information is available. It is overview of the available funding opportunities, with useful information and direct contacts. Particular attention is given to deadlines and procedures to enable you to be aware of the amount of time and preparation required for an application.

The Schwarzkopf-foundation is looking for young people from Europe between the ages of 18 and 26 who are imaginative and active in an honorary capacity engaged for the European understanding and integration. Young people prepared to grasp the opportunities of our time in forging peaceful coexistence in a Europe of diversity.

Each year with this prize the Schwarzkopf Foundation rewards a young European for his/her outstanding commitment to fostering international understanding and the union of Europe. At the same time we want to encourage and motivate these young people to continue to champion these ideals.

The sum donated for the prize is € 5.000. This amount is intended to finance a six-month internship with a Member of the European Parliament or another European institution. It is also possible to use the sum to finance a project which promotes European integration. Such a project must further the aims of the Schwarzkopf Foundation and receive the agreement of the Foundation’s Management board in order to be accepted.

The award-winner will be chosen by a jury of personalities from the European Youth Parliament, the European Parliament, the European Commission and the Schwarzkopf Young Europe Foundation.

Deadline for entries:  30 October 2011
