The call for Grants for Intangible Cultural Heritage is open
The project “Heritage is our Brand”, funded by the European Union and implemented by DMO Albania and EU Policy Hub, announces the call for applications for the small grants scheme.
This call for small grant applications invites creative and cultural initiatives that transform intangible cultural heritage into artistic and visual expressions using contemporary methods. Proposals should draw inspiration from the cultural stories developed by the project “Heritage is our Brand”. Applicants are encouraged not only to creatively transform these cultural narratives into artworks or visual expressions, but also engage the public in meaningful ways, fostering awareness, appreciation, and critical reflection on intangible heritage in contemporary society.
The Small Grant Scheme is designed to empower and support a diverse set of stakeholders actively engaged in cultural heritage. This call is targeted to:
- Young artists, creators, and cultural practitioners (aged 18-29 years old) in the production of new works that contribute to the broader understanding of intangible heritage and identity;
- Experts in the field of culture. This target group includes historians, artists, educators, curators, researchers, and cultural managers with deep expertise in cultural heritage.
- Civil society organisations (CSOs) and cultural associations working in the field of cultural heritage and playing a key role in driving forward community-based cultural initiatives.
Please kindly refer to the package of the call as follows: Thirrje për Propozime – Trashëgimia na dallon – Albania Heritage
The completed application must be sent to info@dmoalbania.al by the deadline of 15 October 2025, 23:59 CET.
