CONCEPT Foundation announces the Open Competition for the CULTURAL POLICY
SUB-COMPONENT OF THE ARTS AND CULTURE NETWORK PROGRAM

The aim of this program is to promote long-term structural changes in the
field of cultural policy - the development and implementation of different
models of cultural actions with specific emphasis on projects that "cross
borders".

Priority support will be given to long-term projects (for the first part of
their realization in the year 2002) aimed at developing: 
*	legislation and fiscal policy in the field of culture (related to
legal activities in culture, heritage protection, nonprofit associations and
organizations, privatization in culture and the arts, regionalization of
cultural policy etc.);
*	transformation of existing infrastructures into more flexible and
self-sustainable ones;
*	new entrepreneurial and fundraising models of cultural institutions
and events;
*	education and training of cultural administrators (policy-makers),
arts managers and entrepreneurs  (including training of trainers);
*	establishment and development of new artistic venues and resource
centers, linked with cultural policy issues;
*	cross-cultural communication (multi-cultural projects, arts for
social change).
*	
*	The following types of projects will receive support: 
*	innovative and/or interdisciplinary models of cultural actions at
international, national or regional level;
*	action research projects aimed at practical results and
implementation;
*	seminars, conferences, workshops, training, and other forms of
education, organized at a regional level;
*	public debates and round tables (using media networks), lobbying
activities and programs.

The projects will be supported only under condition that they represent
innovative ideas and have concrete practical outcomes.
