Дедлайн – 31 серпня 2018 р. (далі – англ.). Is your organisation, company or NGO active in the creative or cultural sector? And are your cultural activities aimed at contributing to social cohesion in the regions bordering on the European Union? If so, you might be eligible for a 2018–2020 Creative Twinning grant, a new subsidy scheme. Creative activities at the EU borders Cultural freedoms in the EU border regions are under severe pressure. This situation compromises the relationship between the European Union and its neighbours, and results in isolation of artists or other creative persons. Taking part in diverse cultural activities is also becoming more and more difficult in these areas, especially in countries that harbour large numbers of refugees and migrants. An open dialogue on cultural differences is sometimes replaced by cultural confrontation or even intentional cultural destruction. Creative Twinning is a subsidy scheme which assists in the development of cultural activities in regions bordering the EU. These activities strengthen mutual links, increase trust and improve communication between the Netherlands and the countries involved. Creative Twinning projects contribute to:
- a more vigorous local cultural sector, which can contribute to social innovation;
- more participation in cultural events by young people;
- a safer, more sustainable urban living environment;
- sustainable preservation of local cultural heritage.
- The project must be aimed at countries bordering the European Union;
- Grants will not be awarded to projects:
- a. aimed at countries not served by an operational Dutch embassy;
- b. projects aimed at least developed countries (LDCs) as classified by OECD-DAC (pdf);
- c. to projects in Libanon, Mali and the Palestinian Authorities;
- d. and to European Economic Area member states.
