Reisestipendien für JournalistInnen

Noch was zum Thema Reisen - folgende Nachricht kommt von Tommi Laitio, Media Programme Officer der European Cultural Foundation:


As the year is approaching rapidly its end and we all make plans for the coming months, I wanted to remind you of the travel grant scheme of the European Cultural Foundation for young journalists.

It is a simple procedure for funding for journalism on popular and youth cultures in Eastern and South-Eastern Europe. Maybe you or someone you know would be interested in applying still during this year.
If the application is sent in this year, the travel can still be done during the first half of 2007.

For people in the cultural field, you can also check our mobility grant Step Beyond:

Please contact me if you have any questions,
