Small Project Fund - People to People
What is the Small Project Fund - People to People?
The Small Project Fund (SPF) supports small-scale, citizen-centred cross-border projects.
The aim of these funded projects is to raise awareness of cross-border cooperation, to enhance the experience of living in the border region and to improve the quality of life of the inhabitants of the EMR, hence the name “People to People”.
As an Interreg Meuse-Rhine (NL-BE-DE) project, the SPF PtoP is managed by the EGTC Euregio Meuse-Rhine as lead partner. The resources of the fund come from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF).
Which themes are supported by the fund?
Six main themes:
- Culture, sport and tourism
- Education and training
- Communication
- Nature, environment and climate
- Health
- Civic participation
And two global themes:
They cut across the six main themes. A project can address them whatever its subject.
- Social inclusion
- Circular economy
