CALL FOR PROPOSALS OPEN
| We are pleased to launch the Spaces of Culture 2026 call for proposals, supporting seven new Africa-Europe cultural relations projects in Sub-Saharan Africa. This funding programme supports cultural relations projects centred on equal partnerships and local ownership, encouraging fair and balanced collaboration between African and European artists, creators and cultural professionals. The call is open to cultural and civil society organisations seeking to initiate or strengthen Africa-Europe collaboration in the cultural field. Proposals must involve local cultural and civil society stakeholders, EUNIC members and EU Delegations. Now entering its second year, our Spaces of Culture programme builds on the first call launched last year. It is implemented by EUNIC as part of the European Commission’s broader Africa–Europe Partnerships for Culture initiative. |
