The project “Heritage is our brand”, funded by the European Union and implemented by DMO Albania and EU Policy Hub, announces the call for applications for the small grants scheme. This call for applications invites creative and cultural initiatives that transform intangible cultural heritage into artistic and visual expressions using contemporary methods. Proposals should draw inspiration from the cultural stories developed by the project “Heritage is our brand” which can be found at this link: Stories – Albania Heritage 

Applicants are encouraged not only to creatively transform these cultural narratives into works of art or visual forms, but also to engage the public in meaningful ways, fostering awareness, appreciation, and critical reflection on intangible heritage in contemporary society. The small grants scheme is designed to empower and support a diverse group of actors who are actively engaged in the field of cultural heritage. This call is addressed to:

1. Young artists, creators, and cultural practitioners in producing new works that contribute to a broader understanding of intangible heritage and identity;
2. Experts in the field of culture, including historians, artists, educators, curators, researchers, and cultural managers with in-depth knowledge of cultural heritage;
3. Civil society organisations (CSOs) and cultural associations operating in the field of cultural heritage and playing a key role in promoting community-based cultural initiatives.
