Description
1) Objective
With Up Grants 2026: Culture for Democracy, they want to celebrate socio-culture as a powerful channel for civic participation. Submissions will be collected based on three strands:
- Digital ethics and democracy: understanding and navigating the digital transformation together
- Dialogue in times of polarisation: bridging divides and nurturing dialogue in increasingly polarised societies
- Participation and cultural resistance: socio-cultural centres as laboratories of civic participation and spaces of cultural resistance in times of social, political, and environmental crisis.
2) Eligibility
If your organisation is an ENCC member, you can apply. If your organisation is not an ENCC member, but it is a socio-cultural centre, you can apply too. They define a socio-cultural centre as a non-profit organisation or public body that facilitates citizens’ active participation in socio-cultural and artistic activities.
3) Location
Actions must take place in Europe.
4) Budget
The sum of EUR 4,000 will be transferred via bank transfer in two tranches, one right after the announcement of the results, and the second upon submission of the implementation report by winners.
5) Application
Applications are open until March 15th, 2026 at 23:59 CET.
