The Prince Claus Fund is looking for proposals for original and innovative arts projects by and for young people in DAC-listed countries in South, South East and Central Asia, Asia Pacific and Eastern Europe (see list of eligible countries below). The Fund’s Next Generation Programme supports initiatives by and for young people that expand their worlds. The programme is designed to amplify the voices of young people and create safe spaces where they can use arts and culture to imagine and explore different ways of being.

Prince Claus Fund encourage projects from arts organisations, collectives, creative hubs, artists and cultural practitioners working in disciplines including visual arts, photography, film-making, theatre, literature, and digital media. They especially encourage projects with an experimental approach that allow young people to engage in:

developing a wide range of narratives about possible identities, particularly those censored or marginalised for political, religious, cultural, economic or other reasons;
creating safe spaces where young artists, participants and audiences can safely explore and develop their identities;
helping young women and men to creatively and confidently challenge restrictive gender-norms.
