MSA is launching a call for projects for young people aged 11 to 22, aimed at supporting their initiatives to improve local life in rural areas, with potential funding up to €5,000.

MSA is renewing its competition "Call for Young People's Projects – Living Better in Rural Areas", an initiative designed to help young people realize concrete projects beneficial to local life. The covered areas include culture, solidarity, the environment, citizenship, and social connection.
Projects must be conceived and led directly by the young people themselves, with the support of a referent structure such as an association, a school, or a municipality. Financial grants of up to €5,000 are awarded through the departmental and national competitions.
The main objective is to empower young people to bring their ideas to fruition, develop their sense of responsibility, and actively participate in the evolution of rural territories.
The deadline for project submission is Friday, February 26, 2027, at 4 PM. Interested individuals or those who know groups of young people who might be interested are encouraged to seek information and spread the word.
