Grants of 7000 Euros for Young People from Countries Bordering the Mediterranean Sea from the Fondation Marc de Montalembert

Marc de Montalembert Foundation is offering one or two grants for projects to encourage young people to acquire a better knowledge of the cultures of the Mediterranean world, as well as their dissemination, particularly among the young people of that region. These grants are awarded each year for the realization of a cultural undertaking or having to do with the development of a craft.

Since 1994 the Foundation has provided financial support to 27 projects undertaken by young grant winners from eight Mediterranean countries. Projects have been realized in the following fields: creative writing, architecture, archeology, anthropology and sociology, music, history of art, craftsmanship, engraving, painting, and photography.

To be considered the candidate must:

1. Come from a country bordering on the Mediterranean.
2. Be less than 28 years old the year of the grant’s award.
3. Manifest a genuine vocation in a specific cultural field or one linked to the development of a particular craft.
4. Present a project related to that vocation which shall be realized in one or more countries of the Mediterranean, as long as the country or countries differ from the applicant’s origin country.
