Open Call: The European Cultural Foundation “Courageous Citizens” Research and Development Grant

There are many examples of courageous citizens drawing on culture and creativity as a way of contributing to better ways of living together. These individuals or collectives work with their communities, peers, policy-makers or institutions, and include unheard or dissenting voices.

The European Cultural Foundation’s focus for 2018 is celebrating and supporting courageous citizens through their programmes, the annual Princess Margriet Award for Culture and through this new Research and Development Grant scheme.

The Research and Development Grant provides seed money that offers participants the opportunity to explore new and daring concepts. Believing that courageous citizens can inspire the creation of models, movements and policies, and acknowledging the role culture can play in making positive change, The European Cultural Foundation invites – Europe’s Courageous Citizens – to submit an application to research and develop ideas around creating positive change and equality at a local, regional and/or European level.

*Deadline for applications is May 9 2018 18.00 CET.
