Marc de Montalembert foundation grant

Last updated on Wednesday, 10/07/2024

The Marc de Montalembert foundation supports projects that enable young people from Mediterranean countries to discover the diversity of other Mediterranean cultures and develop a sense of their diversity and their richness.

The Marc de Montalembert Foundation aims to promote cultural understanding among the young generations and encourage intercultural dialogue in the Mediterranean world. Every year, the Foundation gives out a grant to young people from the Mediterranean region to implement intercultural projects.

Each year, one or two grants are awarded for the realisation of a cultural project or one having to do with the development of a craft. Projects have been realised in the following fields: creative writing, architecture, archaeology, anthropology and sociology, music, history of art, craftsmanship, engraving, painting, and photography.

Can you apply?    

You need to be under 28 years old, from a Mediterranean country (countries bordering the Mediterranean Sea) and want to implement an original cultural project that is in line with your vocational choices. 

To apply, you should propose a study project in the cultural field of your choice which shall be conducted in one or more countries of the Mediterranean region as long as it is different from your origin country.

How to apply

The call for applications opens every year on 1st October and you should apply by 31st December.

If you are awarded the grant of 7000 Euros, you will be invited to receive it in Rhodes, Greece.
