The Culture and Creativity for the Western Balkans (CC4WBs) project, funded by the European Union, is focused on fostering dialogue and reconciliation in the Western Balkans by enhancing the cultural and creative sectors for increased socio-economic impact. Through this Public Call for Small Grants, the CC4WBs project aims to fill some funding gaps and to satisfy the growing demand of the Western Balkans’ cultural and creative industries, cultural operators, youth, media professionals and other individuals to be supported in their efforts to create a strong network within the Western Balkans and to become recognised inside and outside the region.
There are two grants available:
– An artistic residency in the Western Balkans region or Europe (up to 5,000 EUR)
– Opportunities to participate in European or Western Balkans’ culture and heritage-based tourism fairs, professional industry gatherings, training and professional development activities related to culture, heritage, and creativity, artistic expos or similar events and contribute to the promotion of the Western Balkans in areas of Cultural Tourism, Arts, Culture and Media, and Youth Development (up to 3,750 EUR)
The applicant must be resident in one of the Western Balkans IPA Beneficiaries (Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Albania and Kosovo).
