EU National Institutes for Culture (EUNIC)
Call for Proposals: Spaces of Culture 2025
Description
EUNIC launches Spaces of Culture call for proposals, supporting seven new cultural relations projects in Sub-Saharan Africa with a total available budget of EUR 350,000.
What are we looking for?
Projects should embody the principles of cultural relations and go beyond the promotion of European culture in Sub-Saharan Africa. Project activities should demonstrate a deeper understanding of these principles by practising mutual listening and learning, engaging in dialogue, co-creation, and joint capacity building with all members and partners involved.
The call encourages contemporary and innovative formats, related to the arts, creative industries, digitalisation, education, gender, heritage, human rights, social inclusion, sports, sustainability, tourism, youth, and more. Where relevant, projects will foster spaces of free speech and artistic expression, particularly in fragile contexts. Projects must contribute to achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
Attention should be given to widening access to culture and cultural collaborations, especially amongst: youth, people with disabilities, communities outside urban areas, communities living in fragile contexts, including environmental and security fragility.
How much funding is available?
Applicants can request up to EUR 50,000. Co-funding of at least 5% of the requested grant amount is required from project partners or third parties (excluding EU Delegations). For example, a EUR 50,000 grant request requires a minimum co-funding of EUR 2,500.
Pre-payment of 80% of the awarded grant will be made before implementation, and the remaining 20% will be paid upon completion.
Think you have what it takes but not sure you check every box? Research shows that while men apply to roles when they meet an average of 60% of the criteria, women often only apply when they meet every requirement. If you are hesitating, apply!
