The Nordic Culture Point is inviting applications for the Norden 0–30 Grant Programme to supports children and young people’s own projects and seeks to strengthen their organisational skills, influence, and participation in political, cultural, and social activities. The target group of the programme is children and young people up to the age of 30.
