What we are looking for

We are looking for applications in the fields of Arts & Culture, European Civil Society and Climate & Environment from Europe and the Mediterranean region that

  • pursue a clear impact plan and systemic approaches and look for solutions beyond predetermined paths. We request applicants to specifically describe the problem they are addressing and how their project can contribute to a solution.
  • develop a sustainable vision that goes beyond the duration of the immediate project. What will last beyond the end of the funding period and would not have been possible without the project?
  • have a trans-local dimension and at the same time are strongly tied in their surroundings – projects that aim to address global challenges by bringing about concrete changes in their region, communities or local environment.
  • use natural resources responsibly and develop ecologically sustainable formats and strategies.

We particularly welcome submissions from organizations led by women, young people and/or groups affected by marginalization.
We welcome project proposals that use participatory approaches and actively involve their target groups in project development.

Additional information on the funding criteria and the application process can be found in the FAQ section at the bottom of this page.
