Deadline: 30-Jun-21
Do you have ideas about how NATO countries can make themselves more resilient to disinformation and hostile information activities? Are you looking for funding to make them a reality? if yes, then you can apply for this Resilience Projects.
As North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) continues its #NATO2030 reflection on how to prepare for current and future security challenges, the Public Diplomacy Division is offering funding to tackle a key area: making NATO countries more resilient to disinformation and hostile information activities.
The Call for Proposals is oriented towards an overarching strategic goal: to strengthen resilience of NATO citizens and societies to disinformation, propaganda, and other hostile information activities.
- To increase knowledge, awareness and understanding among citizens of ways to counter disinformation, propaganda and other hostile information activities;
- To develop innovative and non-traditional ways to increase societal resilience in the above areas;
- To produce content of enduring value, which can be shared widely within and outside NATO and civil society networks.
Type of Activities
A diversity of projects will be considered. While the experiences of a region, a country, or an individual will vary, central questions to be addressed in the projects to be submitted should be as follows: “How to develop and use the most effective and innovative ways and techniques to counter disinformation, propaganda and other hostile information activities at societal level? How to get citizens involved in contributing to NATO resilience in this area?”
This can be done through:
- Activities using innovative ways to build societal resilience to disinformation, propaganda and hostile information activities;
- Analytical reports with recommendations;
- Policy roundtable discussions, academic seminars, and conferences, face-toface and/or online;
- Digital media projects, including documentaries, interviews, educational tools;
- Other innovative projects.
Target Audiences
- Successor generation (young people 18-35 years old);
- Influencers, opinion formers and decision makers.
Eligibility Criteria
- NGOs (non-governmental organisations), universities, think tanks, community groups and organisations, and any other pertinent civil society organisations, from NATO member nations.
