The Nordic Culture Point is seeking applications for the Norden 0–30 Funding Programme to support children and young people’s own projects.

Projects that can be funded should cover culture, social issues, and/or politics.
Funding Information
- For projects consisting of at least three (3) Nordic countries you can apply for up to 50 000 €.
- For projects consisting of two (2) Nordic countries you can apply for up to 10 000 €.
What is eligible for funding?
- You can apply for support for projects or networks that consist of cultural, political or social activities where children and young people are actively engaged in the process and are able to have a say in the planning, implementation and evaluation of the project.
