Description
1) Objective
PD Poland invites proposals for programs that strengthen ties between the United States and Poland through activities that highlight shared values, promote bilateral cooperation, and forge enduring connections between the United States and emerging Polish leaders (high school students, university students, and young professionals ages 16 to 35), as well as established community leaders in the public, private, and nonprofit sectors. All proposals are required to have a clear connection to the United States, either through U.S. organizations, experts, and/or best practices in order to increase the awareness and understanding of U.S. perspectives, policies, and society. Proposals without significant U.S. content will not be considered for funding.
Examples of possible public diplomacy grant activities include, but are not limited to:
– Youth engagement programs.
– Participatory and/or problem-solving workshops like “tech camps.”
– Soft skills and leadership-building workshops, seminars, and trainings that develop human capital and social or economic innovation.
– Workshops, seminars, trainings, master classes, and exhibitions on themes or topics that advance shared democracy, economic, and security goals.
– Programs that reinforce and amplify lessons learned by Polish alumni of U.S. Government-funded and private sector exchange programs.
2) Eligibility
