Up Grants is the European Network of Cultural Centres' scheme that rewards good practices in socio-culture through international visibility and funding. Are you running or planning to launch an action that promotes inclusion? Then participate by submitting your project for one of the following four strands:

  • E-inclusion and digital accessibility;
  • Building inclusive narratives;
  • Identification and removal of barriers for marginalised groups;
  • Equality and diversity criteria in boards and management.

ENCC is seeking to support socio-cultural centres (and other cultural organisations with a strong community focus) that are running or planning to launch impactful projects that promote inclusion. The programme will boost your initiatives by enhancing their impact and increasing their visibility. Up Grants goes beyond merely collecting existing good practices: it actively seeks to propel them forward for continued development. If your socio-cultural centre is currently undertaking or planning to undertake a project that promotes innovative practices in inclusion and community engagement, showcase it by applying for Up Grants funding.

All eligible projects will be featured on ENCC's website, and the four winners of the public vote (one for each strand) will be awarded a 3.500 EURO grant.

Deadline: 18 March 2024 at 23:59 CET, but the sooner you apply, the longer the visibility your project will get.
