We are pleased to announce the European Heritage Hub project has launched a Small Grants Scheme to support projects led by civil society which protect cultural heritage in EU neighbouring countries. The application process will run from 23 January until 31 March.
The European Heritage Hub Small Grants Scheme is open to civil society organisations based in 11 neighbouring countries of the European Union: Albania, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Georgia, Kosovo*, Moldova, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Serbia and Ukraine.
Countries in these regions – both candidates and potential candidates for EU accession or EU close neighbours – are confronted with an armed conflict, addressing post-conflict challenges, or require actions to prevent possible future conflicts. The European Heritage Hub Small Grants Scheme aims at encouraging and empowering heritage stakeholders from the above-mentioned countries to become active protagonists of the wider European heritage movement.
The European Heritage Hub Small Grants Scheme will thus provide support for projects that focus on topics including:
- Building the capacity of civil society;
- Enhancing the key role of cultural heritage for the Triple Transformation of our society, economy and the environment (green, digital and social);
- Building peace, stability, reconciliation, intercultural and interreligious dialogue through heritage activities.
Projects are also expected to contribute to the principles of the five pillars of the European Framework for Action on Cultural Heritage reflecting the common set-up for heritage-related activities at European level, primarily in EU policies and programmes.
Who can apply and what’s in it for me?
