The SEE Check Network, in partnership with “Faktoje” from Albania and “Open Data Kosovo,” is launching its first call for project proposals aimed at promoting media and information literacy in Southeastern Europe. Supported by the European Commission, this initiative is part of a larger regional effort to combat disinformation and misinformation through the “SEE Check Network – Fighting Disinformation and Misinformation through a Network of Fact-checkers” project. A total of 20 short-term grants will be awarded to civil society organisations (CSOs) and media outlets, empowering them to produce credible content, strengthen their fact-checking capabilities, and enhance local media integrity. Grants are available under two specific categories: LOT 1 supports local media entities focused on fact-checking and credible reporting, while LOT 2 targets CSOs working to combat disinformation, promote media literacy, and build community resilience. These grants, ranging from €5,000 to €12,000, will fund projects lasting from three to nine months, with 10 grants to be awarded in this first call. The deadline for applications is 15 October 2024, and all interested parties are encouraged to submit proposals that align with the initiative’s goals of fostering accurate media reporting and community engagement.

Culture Moves Europe: Individual Mobility Action 3

The third call for the Individual Mobility Action under the Culture Moves Europe programme invites artists and cultural professionals to apply for a grant that enables them to carry out creative projects with a partner in another Creative Europe country. This grant supports projects aimed at exploring new artistic concepts, creating original works, expanding professional networks, or enhancing skills through collaboration. Applicants can propose projects that align with at least two of these goals, and the projects must be carried out in a country different from the applicant’s residence. This opportunity is available for both individual applicants and groups of up to five people, with flexible project durations ranging from 7 to 40 days depending on the project type. The grant covers travel and daily allowances, with additional top-ups available for factors such as environmental sustainability, visa requirements, or accessibility needs. Culture Moves Europe especially encourages participation from artists and professionals with disabilities, offering options for virtual or hybrid mobility. Applicants are reminded that the programme focuses on fostering creation and professional exchange, not simply presenting previously created work. Projects can start no earlier than 60 days from the monthly deadline, and the overall deadline for the third call is 30 November 2024.
