Introduction
The European Heritage Hub project, funded by the European Union and led by Europa Nostra with a group of 20 partners, is starting a program called the Small Grants Scheme.
This program aims to help projects that safeguard cultural heritage in countries close to the EU.
The Small Grants Scheme wants to support people and groups in 11 nearby countries of the EU (Albania, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Georgia, Kosovo, Moldova, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Serbia, Ukraine) to play a more active role in preserving heritage.
These countries are also dealing with conflicts, post-conflict issues, or need to prevent future conflicts. The scheme will fund projects that:
- Help civil society become stronger
- Show how important cultural heritage is for making our society, economy, and environment better (green, digital, and social)
- Promote peace, stability, reconciliation, and understanding between different cultures and religions through heritage activities.
Projects should also support the principles of the European Framework for Action on Cultural Heritage, which guides heritage-related work in Europe, especially in EU policies and programs.
