U.S. Embassy Belgrade - English Language Small Grants (FY2023)
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.
Please follow all instructions below.
Priority Region:
Serbia.
Program Objectives:
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.
Grantees are expected to publicize project activities, including through social media and/or traditional press outlets; and highlight U. S. Embassy support, with our logo included on project-related materials.
Participants and Audiences:
Primary audiences for proposals should be youth, students, teachers and administrators, young professionals, and/or others related to your program theme.
Depending on focus, projects may have secondary audiences or beneficiaries including media, civil society organizations or wider professional audiences, which you may note in the proposal.
Participants or audiences for the proposal should be citizens or legal residents of Serbia.
If your project idea might involve citizens of other countries, please see C.
