On 20 November Catalonia's Department of Labour, Social Affairs and Families launched a call for proposals. Eligible programmes will be those working to reduce the social exclusion and inequality-related effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.

There will be a total of 473 684.21 EUR available: 450 000 EUR in 2020 and 23 684 EUR in 2021. Funding awarded to any one project will represent a percentage of the project's total cost, or the cost of one of its modules.

The call identifies 12 eligible activity types, grouped into four areas:

1. To support the administrative regularity of migrants through social integration and improvements to their employability;
2. Emergency support for the educational development of students from families of migrant origin;
3. Reception of migrants, refugees or returnees;
4. Promotion of equality between men and women in the workplace.

The implementation period of projects to which grants will be awarded must fall between 14 March 2020 and 25 October 2021. Applications must be submitted online by 4 December 2020.
