Creative Projects
St James Cavalier, in Valletta, has launched a national call for creative projects to be developed in 2008 by artists, cultural organisations and other NGOs to be sumbitted as a national proposal to the European Commission.
The selected projects will form part of the national programme, equivalent to €50,000, which Malta will be submitting to the European Commission in mid-September 2007.
The call for creative ideas invites applicants to propose projects related to the exploration of the five senses. Applicants are also invited to collaborate with other Maltese and European artists and/or arts organisations or NGOs. Non-European artists can also participate in the project.
In particular, the National Coordinating Body is looking for projects that would involve and benefit children, youth and communities and addressing issues of ethnicity, minorities, religion and socio-economic issues.
Proposals should include a description of the concept, the timeframe to be used (projects must be implemented between February and December 2008), the number of people participating directly or indirectly or virtually and the budget requested together with an indication of potential co-financing measures.
Projects are to be submitted to National Coordinating Body EYID, St James Cavalier Centre for Creativity, Valletta, or euproject@sjcav.org by noon on August 17.
