ZMINA 2.0: Subgrants for culture projects second wave

Description

1) Objective

Projects should aim at the continuation of cultural life and to support the spirit of the Ukrainian fight for freedom and independence with a component of civic, social, or economic development:

• Civic development projects that help citizens engage with societal issues: Such projects could, for example, support the development of critical thinking skills, raise citizens’ awareness of their rights and responsibilities, of their right to culture, and engage citizens in a reflection on the kind of society they would like (their children) to live in, to develop a shared sense of purpose for the future of their communities.
• Social development projects that allow citizens to learn new methods of engagement: This includes artistic or creative expression, group discussions, negotiation, and learning to mediate differences and to accept – and move forward with – different points of view. These projects aim to develop respect for oneself, each other, our communities, and anyone trying to effect positive change.
• Economic development projects that develop local economic or employment prospects: This includes skills acquisition, especially for young people and the unemployed, entrepreneurship skills, NGO management skills, audience development, exploration of new artistic skills, etc. These projects should aim to make it economically possible for citizens to remain in their peripheral community and contribute to its future development.
