Description
1) Objective
Kosovo 2.0, along with its partners in the Reporting Diversity Network (RDN), have opened a call for project proposals aiming to counter hate speech and improve representation of diversity. The Call was opened as part of the RDN, which was established with the objective of effectively influencing media representation of ethnicity, religion and gender in the Western Balkans. RDN aims to activate the role of civil society in countering the narratives of division and replacing them with a much-needed positive discourse contributing to the value of good neighbouring relations and respect for social diversity.
The Call for Proposals will be publicized with the overall objective of increasing the influence of civil society organisations (CSOs) on media reporting shaping perceptions of ethnicity, religion and gender in the Western Balkans. The specific objectives of the call will be to:
- Strengthen the position of local CSOs in safeguarding their beneficiaries’ rights in the media.
- Provide opportunities for local CSOs to influence public perceptions and respond to hateful and harmful narratives contributing to polarisation.
- Increase the number and quality of messages conveyed to the audience to diminish the effect of polarising narratives.
- Improve visibility and media representation of women and minority rights’ issues.
- Contribute to the positive perceptions of “the other” and tolerance and inclusion in the region.
2) Eligibility
Applicants must be registered with the Department for Registration of Non-Governmental Organisations, the Ministry of Internal Affairs (Law on Freedom of Associations and Non-Governmental Organisations) and have settled all legal obligations.
3) Location
Actions must take place in Western Balkans: Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, Montenegro, North Macedonia, and Serbia.
4) Budget
The overall budget for the programme is €30,000 per country. Five projects per country in the Western Balkans will be supported, with the anticipated size of grants being a minimum of €5,000 and a maximum of €7,000.
