The Small Changes Project has launched a call for applications for the Small Changes Mini-Grants to create activities and projects that explore the role of arts and culture in peacebuilding and social change, by financing 15 projects from Tunisia, Jordan, and Lebanon.
The Small Changes Project aims at expanding cultural space by making available platforms, tools and resources for independent and creative minds to step forward and use culture and art to engage with what is going on in the world. It is currently focusing on Lebanon, Jordan and Tunisia.
The project is initiated by Freemuse, an international human rights organisation defending artistic freedom. Freemuse has UN ECOSOC consultative status and is generally regarded by the UN, international organisations and partners as the world’s leading NGO in the field of freedom of artistic expression and creativity.
Freemuse monitors and documents violations of artistic freedom and expose laws and policies that enable and sustain these violations. They leverage evidence-based advocacy for systemic structural changes at the international, regional and national levels working with partners, artists, and activists in the global south and north.
The deadline to submit applications for this program is 19-Aug-21.
