EUSALP, the European Union’s Strategy for the Alpine Region, mobilizes creative, committed young people for the sustainable development of this area.
“Your Alps ! Your Future ! Your Idea !”
Here we go ! The sixth edition of EUSALP’s “Pitch Your Project” competition has been launched.
Who can take part ? The competition is open to all young people in the Alpine region (see map below) aged between 16 and 25.
How does it work ? All young people have the opportunity – individually or in groups – to set up a project aimed at enhancing the attractiveness and sustainable development of the Alpine region. The competition can also be run as part of school, student or association projects.
The process ? Young people have until September 10 to submit their project, then the jury will deliberate and the candidates who have submitted the 5 best projects will have the opportunity to present them during the final, which will take place in Strasbourg, a city that symbolizes Europe, in the third week of November.
The prizes : Three projects, three prizes of 2,000, 3,000 and 5,000 euros each, to be used towards their realization.
This year, four themes are proposed for the projects to be submitted :
- How to respond to climate change and promote sustainable management of resources, particularly water ?
- How to reinforce sustainable mobility and develop the use of renewable energies ?
- How can we strengthen the circular economy based on short circuits and enhance the value of Alpine crafts ?
- How can we improve social inclusion in the Alpine region and create intergenerational links through digitalization ?
Participation deadline : Please note that all projects must be submitted by September 10 ! So don’t wait any longer ! Visit https://eusalp-youth.eu/ to find out more about the competition and enter.
