Second round of Open calls for proposals: Culture and Creativity for the Western Balkans (CC4WBs)
UNESCO, the British Council and the Italian Agency for Development Cooperation (AICS) are jointly managing “Culture and Creativity for the Western Balkans” (CC4WBs), a project funded by the European Union to foster dialogue in the Western Balkans by enhancing the cultural and creative sectors for increased socio-economic impact.
The project was launched in April 2022 and is of duration of 48 months. Within this period the project will include a range of activities such as technical advice on data analysis and management for the culture sector, capacity-building for inclusive policy-making and regional exchanges, establishment of public/private partnerships to promote the cultural and creative valorisation of public spaces, cultural leadership programmes, connecting independent media portals to create and share content on culture in the region, mentoring and peer learning to bridge skills and knowledge gaps, activities to promote cooperation/co-production fostering a regional approach for inclusion and intercultural dialogue, mechanisms to stimulate private financing, market access and internationalization, small-scale cultural heritage projects to boost local participation and community engagement for sustainable development, and sharing good practices within the region and with EU Member States on community involvement in managing cultural heritage.
