Under the title “EUJA! Initiative projects for the European Capital of Culture year”, the funding program supports projects in the 30 intervention areas, the urban development project of the European Capital of Culture, as well as initiatives throughout the city and in the digital space.
The program is based on three pillars. The special fund “Places of Awakening“, financed by the City of Chemnitz, and the special program “Microprojects Intervention Areas Public Spaces“, financed by the European Capital of Culture Chemnitz 2025 gGmbH, are available for projects in the intervention areas. The special program “Citizen Engagement”, financed by Sparkasse Chemnitz, is aimed at projects throughout the city in the fields of art and culture, education, social affairs and sport in Chemnitz.
The application period begins on 1 May 2024 and ends on 31 May 2025. The deadlines for the three program pillars differ. In total, up to 430,000 euros in financial support can be distributed under the “EUJA!” citizens’ program. The requirements for applicants are low-threshold and the application for individual initiatives is easy to implement.
Double funding of projects that are already listed in the bid book is excluded. Applicants who have not previously participated in the European Capital of Culture Chemnitz 2025 program or have not received funding will be given preferential treatment.
Applications can be submitted online from May 1, 2024. In addition to personal data, a brief description of the project is requested.
