In the framework of Celebrating Our Diversity programme, the Anna Lindh Foundation network in Sweden is offering its network members financial support to implement small-medium scale actions that promote intercultural dialogue, diversity and more inclusive societies.
Theme:
The theme for the third edition is: Trust. Network members are welcome to send proposals for actions related to fostering trust and a stronger community fabric through intercultural dialogue.
Activities:
- Training workshops (online or physical)
- Mobility and exchange between network members (ex. inviting experts from other networks)
- Cultural activity (ex. concert, theatre play, etc.)
- Panel debates and dissemination of reports or toolkits
Budget
6,000 – 12,000 SEK
The financial support per initiative depends on:
- the number of proposals received,
- the quality and scale of the initiative (how many people are reached),
- how realistic the budget is,
- if more than 1 member is involved in the organisation of the action.
Total number of members that will get the financial support: ca. 7-9.
The financial support can be for an already planned activity or a new activity designed specifically to respond to this call for proposals to be implemented by 30 April 2026. In the case of an already planned activity, please give us details on the added value of the financial contribution from the Swedish network.
The entire funding amount is paid after the implementation of the activity and submitting the final report.
Funding amount might be subject to negotation based on the number of shortlisted initiatives.
