EU LAUNCHES A NEW LOCAL CALL FOR PROPOSALS FOR
CULTURAL ACTIVITIES

The Delegation of the European Commission in Egypt has launched on 8 July a new call for proposals for cultural activities in Egypt. The deadline for submitting the proposals is 20 September 2007 at 12:00h. The detailed information on the call can be found on the following web-sites: www.eu-delegation.org.e g and
www.ec.europa.eu/europeaid/work/procedures/index_en.htm . An information session will be organized on 14 August at 12:00h at the EC Delegation. More information and registration on the website at: www.eu-delegation.org.eg .

Cultural and social issues have been one of the three main components of the 1995 Barcelona Process, based on a regional and partnership approach. Since then the European Commission has funded several cultural projects in Egypt under the local and regional programmes like Euromed Heritage or Euromed Audiovisual, the 6th Framework Programme focused on research and technology, in addition of the Anna Lindh Euro-Mediterranean Foundation for the Dialogue between Cultures. Within the new framework of the ENP (European Neighbourhood Policy), the Action Plan signed last March between Egypt and the European Union has agreed to strengthen links and cooperation in culture areas.

The proposals selected in the last call for proposals (2006) which are implemented during this year are: the “Euro-Egyptian Street Theater Festival” (Goethe Institute) held between 17 and 28 May in Cairo, Alexandria, Assiut, and Minia, the exhibition from 13 to 23 May on “Occidentalism, the West in Egyptian Eyes” (Van Gogh l’Elfenoun Art Association) with the works of twenty Egyptian artists, the “4th Fayoum International Youth Film Festival” (Al Asala Foundation) held from 25 June to 1 July in Al Fayoum, “Cairo’s Belle Époque: Architectural Patterns” (Dayra Association for Culture and Arts) for the production of a practical guide for architects with some patters revealing the archetypal designs and solutions embedded in Cairo's Belle Epoque architecture, and “Capture Life” (Media Arts for Development) for the production of 13 episodes of TV short comedies.
