Culture Resource is pleased to announce the launching of All-Around Culture program which aims to foster a vital cultural ecosystem as an enabling environment for social and economic inclusion of young people in seven countries across the Arab region including Algeria, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, Palestine, Tunisia, and Libyan and Syrian communities in these countries.
In the framework of this program co-funded by the European Union, Culture Resource announces the open call for the Cultural Alliances component.
The component will support up to 12 Cultural Alliances consisting of 36 cultural entities, who are seeking to strengthen their adaptive capacities and to engage in setting up a collaboration within alliances as well as wider partnerships on the local, national and regional levels with the aim to strengthen the cultural ecosystem and to facilitate and increase access to culture within their contexts.
Each Cultural Alliance consists of 1 established entity as lead applicant and 2 emerging entities working within the same country. The call primarily targets cultural and artistic entities who are based and/or are actively engaged with wide and diverse audiences beyond the urban centers.
The Cultural Alliances component will offer a grant of up to €110,000 for each alliance to support the stability of entities and foster their investment in sustainable collaboration. Each alliance will also benefit from tailor-made learning modules including mentorship, training, and workshops among others to improve the alliances managerial, collaborative, and strategic competences. Finally, the component promotes regional collaboration by providing opportunities for alliances to participate in other components of the All-Around Culture program in order to expand their professional networks.
The deadline for applications is Thursday 7 January, 2020 at 16:00 Beirut time.
