The U.S. Embassy Budapest, Public Affairs Section (PAS Budapest) of the U.S. Department of State announces an open competition for organizations to submit applications to carry out a program to commemorate 100 years of diplomatic relations between the United States and Hungary.
Program Objectives
PAS Budapest invites proposals for programs to commemorate 100 years of diplomatic relations between the United States and Hungary: to renew conversations within Hungary about the importance and benefits of the transatlantic relationship and to celebrate the progress made in the last 100 years. All programs should underline the importance and value of the transatlantic community, and must include an American element, or connection with American expert/s, organization/s, or institution/s in a specific field that will promote increased understanding of the importance and benefits of our relationship.
Activities that would typically be funded include, but are not limited to:
- Dynamic, innovative programs related to the benefits of the Transatlantic relationship particularly those engaging youth and communities outside Budapest;
- Storytelling projects or historical research projects that personalize the events and the benefits of the 100 years of diplomatic relations;
- Civic and youth engagement, education programs;
- Cultural collaboration in arts, including public art projects or art exhibits, directly related to the 100th anniversary of the diplomatic relationship;
