OSI: Call for proposals in support of Roma culture
REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS
IN SUPPORT OF ROMA CULTURE IN CENTRAL & EASTERN EUROPE
The Open Society Institute-Budapest is requesting proposals in support
of Roma high culture: history, art, language, oral or written
literature, cultural anthropology, musicology, sociology. It is our
hope that support for Roma high culture will have the dual effect of
supporting Roma in their efforts toward self-reliance as well as
providing the general population in Central and Eastern Europe with
informed material on this important culture.
We are requesting proposals in three program areas: (1) culture
centers; (2) scholarly research, writing and publication of books,
monographs, and studies which cover new ground in furthering
understanding of Roma culture; (3) supporting the next generation of
Roma culture bearers. Persons of Romani background are especially
encouraged to apply in all three categories.
Culture Centers. Such centers (new or attached to existing center)
would be set up in Central and Eastern Europe to provide information,
activities (seminars, exhibits, performances, classes, library
collections), events, discussions on broad aspects of Roma high
culture to take place within a community, school or university.
Proposals should provide a fully developed plan for the first year of
such activities, noting that not every center would do everything, and
include: how the center would attract Roma and non-Roma to it; the
number of Roma in the community where the center would be located; the
number of individuals likely to be attracted to such a center; the
staffing plan including the names of the actual staff contemplated and
information on each person�s background, experience and training; and,
a budget for three years including plans for raising financial or
in-kind support within the local community to sustain the center.
Scholarly Research Covering New Ground. Proposals should include an
outline of the research into one of the areas showing new ground to be
covered; a proposed time schedule for completion of the research; a
publication and distribution plan including costs associated with the
translation into local languages including Romany. Please also include
a resume or cv showing the qualifications of the person(s) undertaking
the research, such as academic training, authorship of other
publications.
Applications are evaluated by a selection committee based on:
- the degree to which new ground is covered;
- the significance of the contribution the research will make to its
field;
- the qualifications of the applicant;
- the soundness of the publication and distribution plan;
- the quality of the overall application.
Young Roma Culture Bearers Program. In many Roma communities, Roma
have lost touch with their cultural past. This program will be looking
for creative ways to inform and empower the next generation of Roma
with that knowledge so that they become the teachers of the
generations who follow them. Projects such as oral history collection,
Roma cultural camps, historic mapping exercises, student historic
research, Romany language courses, and others would be of interest.
The Young Culture Bearers Program will be limited to Roma both as
teachers and learners. Priority will be given in the other two
categories to projects directed or undertaken by Roma or in which the
majority of participants are Roma.
We anticipate that grant size will be between $1,000 and $35,000
depending on the category and scope of the project.
PLEASE SUBMIT YOUR PROPOSALS IN ENGLISH TO:
(Proposals in Romany will be translated to the extent we are able to
do so.)
