**description:** Objective:
This is a call for proposals for EU action grants in the field of Union Values under the Citizens, Equality, Rights and Values Programme (CERV).

Projects can be national or transnational.
Each project application under the call must address only ONE of the following priorities:
Priority 1. Capacity building and awareness raising on the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights;
Priority 2. Promoting rights and values by empowering the civic space;
