20% of support to cinemas members of the Europa Cinemas network is attributed to encourage exhibitors' initiatives toward young audiences.

Notably, this support takes into consideration specific programming in terms of European films and screenings geared toward young audiences and school pupils. Also considered are exhibitors' activities, publications, mailings and promotion for the films and screenings, as well as participation in joint activities developed at the national or European level (Ecran Large sur Tableau Noir, Cinéfête, Collège au cinema…). This support is attributed proportionally to the number of screens benefiting from support. If more than 5 screens benefit from support, the Young Audience support is limited at 5,000 euros per year and per convention.
In 2006 Europa Cinemas supported 254 conventions.

In 2008, Europa Cinemas modified its mode of evaluating activities for Young Audiences. You may consult below the new Young Audiences Guidelines 2008 (available very soon), applicable to programming in 2008 – which will be dealt with at the start of 2009.
