In order to achieve the objectives of the European year of intercultural dialogue 2008, the Commission is launching a call for proposal to co-finance a limited number of emblematic actions aimed at promoting intercultural dialogue on a European scale. The call aims to reach as many people as possible and will highlight achievements and experiences on the European year of intercultural dialogue 2008. The actions may consist of specific events and activities which will raise awareness of the objectives of the European year and underline the meaning and importance of intercultural dialogue, illustrating various areas, methods and dimensions of intercultural dialogue in the European Union in a manner that is visible and attractive in particular, but not exclusively, to young people. This grant, which may cover up to 80% of total costs, will be awarded to approximately 8 to 10 projects. Deadline for application: 31 July 2007 Budget:  2.4 million Euro (opening and closing events not included). European Commission - Culture
