You are at home – a micro-grant to get started!

Do you create artistic activities (theatre, film, photography, music, poetry, writing, handicrafts, dance)?  Have you been professionally involved in the arts in your country of origin, but have not yet had the opportunity to do so in Poland? Would you like to organize a cultural event for your community? Or maybe you would like to create a community through cultural action? Are you thinking of sharing your writing, painting, photography, performance art with the world? Do you need support to keep creating or do you want to support others through your work? Are you looking for inspiration and motivation to take action?

Submit your initiative to our programme! 

Proposed initiatives can:

– be a one-off artistic or cultural/social event;

– be the beginning/part of a larger project/activity;

– concern the development or continuation of your passions or artistic/social activities which you were involved in before your arrival in Poland;

– be carried out by yourself or in a group, with the active participation of others;

– be proposed by any migrant or refugee person, regardless of their origin, legal status or previous artistic experience. 

Each project participant will receive a mikro-grant of PLN 3,000 and will have the opportunity to participate in weekend workshops/training on creating and developing their projects (on the 25th and 26th November 2023)

We are waiting for your application until 22 October 2023. Your application will be evaluated by the Strefa WolnoSłowa crew. The results of the call will be announced on 31st October.
