The programme Culture in the Czech Republic is implemented under this programme area.

- Capacity building of umbrella associations, networks and platforms.
Target Groups
Target groups are people who will benefit from the outputs of the project activities. The applicant will indicate the target groups of the project and briefly characterize the individual groups. The applicant also explains why the project is focused on the given group(s) and on what basis the target groups were selected. The applicant will further describe:
- what activities and outputs are expected for given target groups;
- how he/she will work with each target group (e.g. work with audience);
- whether the project activities are based on existing communication strategy or whether the project aims to create such strategy and how it is based or targets the needs of individual target groups.
- what means will be used to address and influence the target group(s) (e.g. direct work, campaign, etc.);
- what positive effect the target groups will experience thanks to the implementation of the project and how the benefits can be verified.
Given the focus of the call, the local/regional community is considered as one (or more) of the target groups. As a basis for assessing the suitability and consistency of the proposed activities with the needs and requirements of the local/regional community, the applicant must submit a ‘Local/Regional Community Opinion’. This is the opinion/record of meetings or consultations with the local/regional community (i.e. local authorities or interested associations and groups (religious, ethnic, interest, professional, age, etc.)).
