Youth, Arts and Culture Initiative Call for Proposals

Youth, Arts and Culture Initiative Call for Proposals

Are you inspired by the fact that up to 67% of the SADC region’s population is below 35 years and yet youth, especially young women, remain on the margins of the mainstream economy, politics and society?

Deadline: Thursday, July 20th. 2024
Are you working on promoting and protecting youth’s economic, social and political spaces at a community or national level?
Are you inspired to use art and activism to promote voice in the public space? Are you a catalyst in your community- seeking to create spaces for marginalised communities to be heard?
Are you challenging the causes, acting to remove the barriers and catalysing transformation across the political, socio-economic and legal spheres of youth within and across the SADC region?
If so, you are what are what we are looking for!
