Submission Requirements.

No matter whether you work in a team or alone and do so on a local, regional or national level, everybody is aloud to send an idea.
Detail your concept (maximum five pages) based on the following questions:

  • What local challenges have to be mastered? What target groups does your initiative address?
  • What are your goals? And which (innovative) ways have you identified to meet them?
  • What schedule do you anticipate? Is your project temporary or do you hope to expand it gradually?
  • What type of support do you require at the location? Give some information about the benefit and expenditure/effort of the requested support services.
  • How do you plan to build and extend your project in the long term, also following the maximum support period of one year?
  • Can your idea be transferred to other cultural settings? Can it be applied to other national, religious or cultural constellations or to various age and target groups?
