The European Commission has launched a call for proposals to support Euro-Palestinian cultural activities under the reference EuropeAid/154711/DD/ACT/.  The overall budget available for this call is EUR 400 000, with grants between EUR 50 000 and EUR 200 000.

The global objective of this call is to contribute to a more positive understanding of the EU through the support to the Palestinian cultural sector. The specific objective is to enhance the visibility of the EU in Palestine through the support to joint Euro-Palestinian cultural events all around the country (including in isolated areas, refugee camps, etc…) thus contributing to developing a positive image of the Palestinian identity.

The proposals shall address at least three of the following priorities:

  • actions that explicitly promote the values of tolerance and respect for diversity;
  • actions with a strong “Euro-Palestinian” dimension (i.e. clearly promoting exchanges and/or co-productions between Palestinian cultural organisations and European ones, not being limited to one European country);
  • actions that reinforce the sense of community among Palestinian people through overcoming the territorial fragmentation (i.e. actions should not be limited to one area but be implemented in different parts of Palestine including in Gaza, isolated areas, refugee camps, etc… );
  • actions promoting and developing new and or different Palestinian narratives;
  • priority will be given to projects where a Palestinian organisation is the lead applicant.

The deadline for submission of full application is 13/06/2017 at 15h00 (Brussels date and time).
