The UNESCO-Aschberg Bursaries for Artists Programme has the pleasure to announce the 2014 Call for Applications. The Programme promotes the mobility of young artists through art residencies abroad. The UNESCO-Aschberg Bursaries Programme was integrated in UNESCO’s strategy in 1994 to promote cultural diversity and intercultural dialogue. It aims to provide experience to young artists and to help them complete their training in countries other than their own.The Programme strategy is based in UNESCO’s policies to promote creativity and cultural diversity, and so, converges with the goals of the Convention on the Promotion and Protection of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions (2005 Convention). The Programme also gives priority to artists and institutions in developing countries, in order to enhance North-South and South-South cooperation.
The Call is open to creative writers, musicians and visual artists between 25 and 35 years old. To consult the list of bursaries available for 2014 please visit www.unesco.org/culture/aschberg, where you will find direct links to institutions/residencies and instructions on the application procedures and necessary dates.
Applicants may submit only one application per year and can participate in the Programme only once in their career.
