The Nordic Culture Point has announced a call for proposal for its Volt Programme with an aim to support projects that raise interest in art, culture, and languages in other Nordic countries and areas.
Volt is a language and culture programme for children and young people up to the age of 25. Applicants can apply for funding from Volt for projects relating to the cultural and artistic creativity of children and young people. Funding may be granted for all areas of the arts, including film, literature, the performing arts, the visual arts, and cultural heritage, provided that the application criteria are met.
Funding Information
- Project funding from Volt ranges from €10,000 to €70,000.
- Funding from Volt may account for a maximum of 70% of the project’s costs.
- At least 30% of the entire project must be covered by other funding, which may consist of volunteer work or the organiser’s own resources (known as funding in kind).
- Total funding from Volt and other joint Nordic organisations such as the Nordic Culture Fund or NordPlus must not exceed 85% of the project’s total budget.
Eligible Project
Projects can include:
- the production of works or other initiatives featuring creative content;
- the introduction of an exchange or long-term co-operation for the target group (those up to the age of 25 in the Nordic Region);
- activities that create dialogue, discussion, or debate around the Nordic languages, art, and culture.
Eligibility Criteria
- Eligible applicants are:
- individuals
