Ahead of the elections of the European Parliament in 2024, AGE launched a call for proposals to align the commitments of MEP candidates to AGE proposal for a European strategy for age equality. Find out more about the three granted projects.
This call for proposals was addressed to AGE full members to:
- organise meetings, debates, and events with older people, with political parties and MEP candidates to foster age equality, to achieve rights-based programmes for the European elections and to foster a lasting dialogue with older people’s organisations.
- develop and disseminate communication materials around age equality, the protection of human rights and other materials underpinning the participation of older people in the campaign for the elections of the European Parliament.
Three applications were received on time, screened, evaluated and granted.
A live-streamed conference witch present candidate MEPs, 7 high-level figures from the political parties and stakeholders from Cyprus and other European countries will be financed. The event will discuss AGE recommendations for active, healthy, and dignified ageing and encourage participants to publicly adopt and commit to these recommendations.
Social media campaigns, short videos, and printed and digital leaflets will support the project’s dissemination.

Starting date: 15/06/23. Ending date: 15/12/23.
Requested budget: 20.000 EUR (4.000 EUR co-funding will be brought by the member).
In autumn 2023, elections to the national Polish parliament will take place, meaning both increased public interest in the issue of public policies, and that numerous pre-election meetings will be organized by political parties and the candidates themselves. The project will exploit and support that via broad dissemination activities.
Activities will also target the 52 current Polish MEPs and promotion activities are planned to take place until the EP elections in 2024.
Place: Poland
Starting date: 15/06/23. Ending date: 14/12/23

The aim will be for citizens and their organisations to present issues that concern them, including the need for action at the National and the European level, and for candidates MEPs to explain how they plan to act on these issues once elected. Three small-scale meetings and a major event will be organised with the attempt to secure MEP Candidates’ commitment to support the main objectives of the project.
An awareness-raising campaign through social media and other channels, alongside printed materials will be set up.
