The Youth-led Cultural & Civic Initiatives aims to encourage community-based and contextual projects using collaborative approaches and to raise knowledge and capacities of young artists, collectives and cultural operators from underserved areas on the development of contextual work, and community engagement in cultural and civic activities.

The component will offer:

  • Up to 32 research and 24 production grants to support youth-led cultural & civic initiatives to implement community-based and contextual artistic production;
  • A Collaborative Laboratory and a mentorship residency, where the selected artists, collectives and cultural operators can exchange experiences and raise capacities on cultural and civic project development applying community-based and contextual methodologies; and
  • Tailor made guidance, networking and support opportunities to be provided.
