BALKAN INCENTIVE FUND FOR CULTURE - call for projects 2007

(2007 02 14 00:35)

The European Cultural Foundation Grants Programme supports projects that promote European cultural exchange and cooperation. The creation of artistic works, media projects or cultural policy development as well as capacity building of cultural organisations or international collaboration of arts managers are among the eligible types of projects.

The programme funds small and medium-sized independent cultural organisations that work on cross-border and inter-regional projects. From 2006, the ECF gives extra attention to issues of diversity, which will also be expressed in the Grants awarded.

 

In 2006, the ECF set up a new grant initiative, Balkan Incentive Fund for Culture. Its first deadline was in July, but starting 2007 the deadlines for the Fund are the same as those for Grants.

One of the projects, granted in 2006 was Nomad Dance Academy Pilot Project, iniciated by six organisations from Slovenia, Croatia, Bulgaria, Serbia-Montenegro and Macedonia. They established a platform for contemporary dance, to help promotion, education, exchange and collaboration in this field. This was accomplished through workshops, working visits and an international conference.

The project leader is FIČO BALET, an unconventional dance-theatre group from Ljubljana.
