Deadline: September 15, 2018

Is there an activist in your community who is below the age of 30 and has inspired you? Someone who started an initiative, motivated others to become more civically engaged or played a crucial role in an organisation? Now it’s time to share their story with the world!

Through the #FindYourLocalHero campaign they are looking to uncover, with your help, the hidden everyday heroes in your communities! For this, they are looking for story submissions. The stories will be featured on the #EuropeanHeroes website and social media pages. Moreover, for the best submissions they receive, they will help raise the profile of your Local Hero across the continent, and spread the word about the cause he/she is working on.

Benefits

European exposure to the people you nominate, and a chance to raise awareness about their initiatives.

      • What problem are you trying to tackle?
      • How are you going about solving it?
      • Why is it important to you?
    • Optional questions:
      • What message would you like to share with youth that want to follow in your footsteps?
      • What is your vision for Europe?
