Travel Grants to Germany for Young Persons engaged in the Cultural and Civil Society Sector from
Ukraine
The Goethe-Institut will offer travel grants to Germany
Deadline for the application: 20 November 2015
In times of social and political transformation processes, it is important to strengthen the will and
competences of persons, who are motivated to play a major role in these processes. Especially young
people should be enabled to assume and practice individual responsibility and to set up and
strengthen networks with local and European partners. The exploration, reflection and eventually the
establishment of creative and independent initiatives should empower young people to take
responsibility for their own ideas and to participate in the developments of their society and their
country.
The Goethe-Institut will offer travel grants (up to 7 days) between November and December 2015.
Participants will get the chance to intensify already established contacts and networks with German
partners by visiting German festivals, conferences, exhibitions or initiatives.
