Dear all,

I wanted to let you know that the European Cultural Foundation (ECF) has just launched an open call as part of our current strategic focus "Connecting Culture, Communities and Democracy”.

I thought you, your colleagues or your network may be interested by this call for innovative ideas for cross-sectorial collaboration that engages Europeans in re-defining and shaping “public space”. 50 selected ideas will be presented at an Idea Camp in 23-25 October in Marseille, following that event, 25 will be selected to receive R&D grants up to €10K. The deadline to submit applications is 15 July.

The call is open to individuals, collectives or organisations working in the arts and cultural sector as well as in other fields and sectors of society including academic & educational, environmental, trade & industry, health & social care, human rights etc. Applicants can represent the private, public or social sector, and they should be based or active in wider Europe.

For further details and to apply, please read the call: http://www.culturalfoundation.eu/idea-camp/

Do share the call within your networks and friends.

In order to raise awareness about the open call and gather views on the theme of public space, we have launched an online campaign. Anyone can participate through their usual online channels, simply by tagging their contributions as #PublicSpaceis. Check http://www.culturalfoundation.eu/public-space-is for further information.

Thanking you in advance. 

Best regards,

Juan
