Event Grants 2016. Good ideas welcome
Every now and then - walking down the street, talking to friends - we all have ideas to change the world. If your idea involves football and could come together this October we want to hear it.
You could get an Event Grant of up to €3000 to make it happen.
The type of ideas we are looking to fund will be things that can create change at a national or international level. They might be film festivals, conferences, exchange trips, trainings, lobbying events in parliament, development of websites, materials, research launches. But do not be restricted by our list - the more innovative the better.
If you think you can make a splash, we are interested in hearing about it.
Do not forget we want to focus on ideas that tackle discrimination and increase social inclusion. Our target areas are refugees, the empowerment of ethnic minorities and women, tackling nationalism and LGBT rights. You might want to have one target group or you might have more, its up to you.
Interested? Send us a brief email to ideas@farenet.org with your proposal and tell us who you are. We promise to respond promptly.
If you want to know more details, you will need to read these guidelines before making an application.
Deadline is 1st August. Do not wait around too long.
