The Public Diplomacy Section (PDS) of the U.S. Embassy in Belgrade announces an open competition for individuals and organizations from Serbia or the U.S. to submit applications for the English Language Small Grants Program.
The U.S. Embassy recognizes that knowledge of the English language offers opportunities to improve job prospects for Serbia’s citizens, expand access to information and knowledge, and promote critical thinking and media literacy. Proposals should use English to address problems or challenges faced by your community, such as brain drain, limited job opportunities, or the spread of disinformation. Proposals may also utilize English as a bridge for increased communication and cooperation among neighbors within the Western Balkans, between citizens of Serbia and the United States, or between people from Serbia and EU member states.
Grant activities may take any number of forms, including English language camps, academic competitions, cross-border exchanges, conferences, workshops, courses, exhibits, app development, hackathons, online projects, simulations, role-playing activities, performances, or other activities.
Individuals are required to submit only one proposal, and PDS prefers that organizations submit one proposal under this NOFO. Interested applicants from within Duke should contact fundopps@duke.edu as early as possible.
Deadline: April 1, 2023
The following entities, from Serbia or from the United States, are eligible to apply:
Award amounts: awards may range from a floor (minimum) of $2,000 to a ceiling (maximum) of $30,000.
