Due to the actions that are being taken over the years by the European Union in multiple different sectors, EU citizens get to enjoy a plethora of perks such as freedom and protections, including personal, civil, political, and economic protection. Social rights and Personal Data are also being thoroughly protected by EU authorities and the anti-discrimination law along with borderless travel through most of the European Countries enhances security.
Those fundamental rights are based on the values on which the European Union was built. Values of equality, social inclusion, non-discrimination, freedom, human dignity, and democracy. The rules of the European Union are protecting these values and through multiple actions taken every single year, these values are enhanced and promoted all around the EU. Every EU citizen has the right to equal opportunities in every sector and the EU always supports that.
The European policies that have been formed over the years are aiming at not only enhancing these values but keeping them intact as well. EU citizens have the right to help maintain these values as much as possible, either through their own personal actions as concerned citizens or by taking part in the actions dedicated to the protection policies.
Those actions are mainly been implemented and handled through European projects. Projects that have been specifically created for this process. These projects fall under an array of European Programmes funded by the EU, with a budget that can support a plethora of these projects every year. Each project answers to specific challenges, all connected with enhancing the security.
Organizations all around Europe are taking part in these projects, aiming at playing their part for the European Security. Here are some of the current most popular calls, to enhance European Security in every field of interest:
