From graff at uwosh.edu Mon Jul 17 09:09:09 2006 From: graff at uwosh.edu (Jenna Graff) Date: Mon, 17 Jul 2006 09:09:09 -0500 Subject: [Intl] "Getting to Know Europe" Grants Message-ID: <6.1.2.0.2.20060717090743.01ac2bb8@mail.uwosh.edu> Dear INTL Listserv Members: For more information on the following grant opportunity, please contact Ms. Helen Henderson directly. "Getting to Know Europe" Grants The Delegation of the European Commission in Washington, DC, is seeking proposals for local programs that promote greater knowledge of the European Union (EU) in the United States. Activities should be targeted at local communities and local government and spur understanding about what the EU is and what it does, to raise awareness about EU policies and institutions, and the EU?s role as an international actor in the economic and political field. Wherever possible, activities should also highlight local economic, social, and cultural connections to Europe. Activities can include: * competitions (essay, poetry, painting, quizzes, games, EU simulations); * other information products such as posters, leaflets, newspaper features, radio/TV programs including quizzes and talk shows, videos, websites and advertising of project events; * training programs and briefing sessions for local officials; * study and exchange visits; and * town twinning arrangements with European counterparts. Activities may take place throughout the grant period but should include events on or around Europe Day 2007 (May 9, 2007). Institutions which may apply include secondary schools, youth groups and associations, local community groups, media and other professional training centers and other civil society organizations such as chambers of commerce. Proposals involving two or more such institutions are welcome, and national "umbrella" groups with active local chapters may also apply. Activities can also involve consular, economic or cultural representations of Member States of the EU, as well as companies from the EU which trade or invest in the local community concerned. Institutions selected will receive funding in the form of a grant subsidy towards approved costs between November 1, 2006 and December 31, 2007. An estimated eight to ten grants of up to ?80,000 (approximately US$102,300) each will be awarded. The Commission contribution will cover up to 75% of total project costs; therefore applicants must be able to provide at least 25% towards these total project costs. The application submission deadline is August 23, 2006. Full details of the competition can be viewed at the European Delegation's web site. The contact person in D.C. is Ms. Helen Henderson, Political & Development Section.
