CONCEPT Foundation announces the open competition for the CULTURAL POLICY
SUB - COMPONENT of the Arts and Culture Network Program

The aim of this program is to promote long-term structural changes in the
field of cultural policy - the development and implementation of different
models of cultural actions with specific emphasis on projects that "cross
borders". 
Priority support will be given to long-term projects (for the first part of
their realization in the year 2002) aimed at developing: 
	*	legislation and fiscal policy in the field of culture
(related to legal activities in culture, heritage protection, nonprofit
associations and organizations, privatization in culture and the arts,
regionalization of cultural policy etc.);
	*	transformation of existing infrastructures into more
flexible and self-sustainable ones;
	*	new entrepreneurial and fundraising models of cultural
institutions and events;
	*	education and training of cultural administrators
(policy-makers), arts managers and entrepreneurs  (including training of
trainers);
	*	establishment and development of new artistic venues and
resource centers, linked with cultural policy issues;
	*	cross-cultural communication (multi-cultural projects, arts
for social change).
The following types of projects will receive support: 
*	innovative and/or interdisciplinary models of cultural actions at
international, national or regional level;
*	action research projects aimed at practical results and
implementation;
*	seminars, conferences, workshops, training, and other forms of
education, organized at a regional level;
*	public debates and round tables (using media networks), lobbying
activities and programs.
The projects will be supported only under condition that they represent
innovative ideas and have concrete practical outcomes.

The maximum grant requested should not exceed 20 000 USD.
