What we like, what we are interested in
Below you find examples of the qualities that might convince us to support your project. Please note however that there is no magic recipe or perfect approach for getting your application awarded. Our Grants process is highly competitive, on average only 1 in 8 applications is supported.
STEP 2 - WHAT WE ARE INTERESTED IN
We are interested in:
- projects that express the diversity within Western Balkan societies and within Europe;
- projects that improve cultural collaboration within (South Eastern) Europe and its immediate neighbourhood;
- projects that reach beyond the national level, particularly those which forge new connections between countries or regions that would not usually collaborate;
- projects that approach European developments in an artistic way;
- projects that are original, and give a new perspective on certain concepts or fields of expertise;
- projects that have a legacy for the future, and can become substantial as well as sustainable, for example through structural cooperation on an organisational level;
- projects which bring culture of high quality to places that are usually not part of the international cultural discourse;
- projects that attract new audiences to the arts;
- projects that are participatory;
- projects that have a concrete end-product.
