80 Years of Freedom

Funding 80 Years of Freedom

The liberation of the Netherlands from National Socialism began 80 years ago. In 2025, it will be 80 years since the end of the Second World War. Various commemorative events and liberation activities will be organised in the Euregio Rhine-Waal in 2024 and 2025, including a number of joint German-Dutch events.

In view of the important signal for cross-border cooperation sent by such joint activities, the Executive Board has decided to support cross-border activities in the context of ‘80 Years of Freedom’. The Euregio Rhine-Waal will provide € 30,000 for this purpose in both years. This funding can be combined with funding from the KPF fund.

Activities organised within the framework of ‘80 Years of Freedom’, in which German and Dutch participation from the Euregio Rhine-Waal working area is planned, can in principle make use of this scheme. The funding conditions (in German) can be downloaded here.

Applications can be submitted by e-mail.

We hope that many beautiful cross-border commemorative events and liberation activities will take place in the coming years, which will make an important contribution to good understanding between the inhabitants of the Euregio Rhine-Waal.
