    Africa-Europe Foundation Youth Awards Scheme
    Reach us on

    Applications are open for Africa-Europe Foundation Youth Awards Scheme 2025. The Africa-Europe Foundation is proud to announce the 2025 edition of the Africa-Europe Youth Awards Scheme, launched under the banner of #RoadToLuanda25. This special call for applications seeks to recognise, support, and amplify the efforts of young people who are driving meaningful cooperation between Africa and Europe.

    In the lead-up to the Africa-Europe Summit in Luanda, Angola (November 2025), this initiative focuses on making visible the contributions of youth to the bi-continental partnership. Whether your work is grassroots or cross-continental, this is your opportunity to inspire others and receive strategic recognition for your efforts.

    About the Awards Scheme

    The Africa-Europe Youth Awards Scheme is an initiative of the Africa-Europe Foundation, committed to strengthening intercontinental cooperation by placing young people at the center of action. It is designed to:

    • Highlight youth-led efforts that contribute to a stronger, fairer, and more collaborative Africa-Europe Partnership.
    • Provide financial and institutional backing to expand and sustain youth-driven impact.
    • Act as a platform for storytelling, dialogue, and collective visibility in the lead-up to landmark political and social moments.

    This year’s special edition is a key pillar of our preparation for the Luanda Summit 2025, where youth voices will help shape the strategic future of Africa-Europe cooperation.

    This call aims to support youth-led and youth-focused projects that bring visibility to real actions, campaigns, and voices contributing to a more connected and meaningful partnership between the two continents. From local dialogues to creative digital campaigns, selected initiatives will highlight how young people are shaping this cooperation.
