Deadline: 16 March 2018
The Prince Claus Fund has announced a new Call for Proposals for the Next Generation 2018 to support one-year initiatives by and for young people that inspire them to contribute to their societies in ways that make them more inclusive and accepting of differences.
The programme is designed to create safe spaces for young women and men where they can explore the possibilities of different stories or alternative narratives that allow them to imagine different ways of being.
This call (The Next Generation 2018) seeks proposals that enable young people (ages 15-30) in countries eligible from Africa and the Middle East to explore, define and represent their identities through arts and culture in a project that lasts a maximum of one year.
Funding Information
The Prince Claus Fund supports projects with a financial range up to €25,000.

This call especially supports projects that stimulate young people to engage in some or all of the following focus points:
- Developing a wide range of narratives about possible identities, particularly those censored or marginalised for political, religious, cultural, economic or other reasons.

- Helping young women and men to creatively and confidently challenge restrictive gender-norms.
