The Sommer Foundation is seeking proposals for Educational projects which aims to encourage the implementation of educational activities as part of an artistic or cultural project in the following fields: performing arts, fine arts, visual arts, music, literature, design, multidisciplinary projects, architecture.
The focus areas of the opportunity are to awaken the minds and cultural curiosity of children and young people by allowing them to discover in more detail a specific artistic universe and works, to give participants new tools to enable their personal and creative development, to actively involve children and young people in the development of an artistic work or a cultural project, and to develop new skills through mutual learning as an artist/cultural/educational/social structure on the one hand and as a pedagogical staff on the other. The funded educational projects can be implemented in the context of creations/works in the process of being developed or planned, around existing or old creations/works, and as part of the preparation of a specific cultural project. The target audience of the projects includes children, teenagers, young adults, and families.
The selection criteria include a strong artistic and educational dimension, the participatory nature of the project, the composition of the pair, the target audience and the strategy to reach it, and the technical and financial feasibility. The amount of aid is determined according to the requirements and scope of the project and the estimated budget and may not exceed EUR 7,000 per project. The financial aid allocated to the selected projects should be considered as ad hoc support, allotted to specific projects of a specific duration and must be directly related to pedagogic activities carried out within the framework of the selected project. Expenditure generated prior to the submission of the application and prior to the official agreement of support from the Foundation is not eligible for funding. Fondation Sommer will verify the use of the amount received by requesting a financial statement, with accounting documents, at the end of the project.
