Deadline: 15 February 2023 | Swedish Institute (SI) Creative Partnerships Programme 2023
The Creative Partnerships Programme, a new project from the Swedish Institute, will provide money to Swedish organizations and their foreign partners in civil society, culture, and the media. Projects that seek to further democracy, human rights, and freedom of expression will get assistance from the program.
The Creative Force program has been replaced with a new effort called Creative Partnerships. It is accessible to Swedish organizations and their allies in the nations they are targeting. The program’s sponsored projects should work to improve the environment for the growth of democracy, respect for human rights, and freedom of speech in the participating nations.
