Summary
Art and creative sectors can play an important role in the mobilisation of citizens, stakeholders and civil society actors for the protection and restoration of the ocean and inland waters, their biodiversity, aesthetic and cultural heritage. In this context, this action should benefit from close cooperation with the scientific community and the philanthropists.
Mobilisation, cooperation and coordination should be envisaged at interregional/transnational level. Proposals are encouraged to build synergies with relevant activities supported under the Creative Europe programme and with other New European Bauhaus projects, notably those based in coastal and maritime regions.
Detailed Call Description
Proposals should ensure:
- among the assessment criteria, a high degree of circularity, carbon neutrality and positive environmental impact of the project;
- high visibility of the projects selected for funding, among others by publicising their results at the dedicated Mission website at europa.eu;
- promotional actions to highlight the contribution of artists and creative sectors’ projects to achieving the Mission objectives through dissemination campaigns.
The artistic and creative sector projects that will benefit from the financial support to third parties under this topic should cover all the following elements:
- Creative and novel artistic expressions that unlock and strengthen the connection of the wider public with ocean, seas, inland waters and their biodiversity;
- Synergies with scientific domains and involve scientific and research actors, as well as engage with civil society actors;
- Expected impact of the projects, expected number of people involved (directly in the project, and of potential reach out), and themes directly related to Mission objectives;
- Strong and innovative ocean and water literacy activities aimed at the general public designed with the participation of the relevant scientific and research communities, as well as civil society actors;
- Full sustainability and circularity of the entire project, including the use of sustainable materials and circular solutions and renewable energy;
- Commitment to a Climate Pact Pledge leading to full decarbonisation or at least carbon neutrality of the project and of all the proposed activities;
