Alliance
of Civilizations Youth Solidarity Fund |
To support youth-led initiatives that promote long-term constructive relationships between young people from diverse cultural and religious backgrounds, the Alliance of Civilizations last month launched a Youth Solidarity Fund. The Fund will provide seed funding in amounts up to 20,000 USD to a very small number of outstanding youth-led projects in the following areas:
The Alliance of Civilizations places great emphasis on funding projects that have long-term outcomes and that connect youth from previously unconnected communities with a view to overcoming perceived or real cultural and religious divides. 2008 constitutes the pilot phase of
this initiative and we have limited funds available. Due to an extremely positive
response to the call for applications, we advice organizations who consider
applying for funds to carefully consider the criteria for applications and
what 'added value' their project will have in terms of overcoming divides and
creating spaces for dialogue where such dialogue is really needed to overcome
conflict or tensions. The AoC will only fund projects
that are entirely managed by youth for the benefit of youth. The age
definition used by the AoC is persons between 18 and 30 years old.
The call for applications is now open! To request an application pack, please contact the AoC Secretariat . The Alliance of Civilizations Secretariat is managing the Fund and is working with partners and a youth advisory committee to ensure youth participation in the selection of projects for funding. The AoC will strive to ensure a geographic and thematic balance among selected projects. The deadline for submitting applications is 30 April, 2008. Successful applicants will be notified in June 2008. |
