call for european/transnational projects

The SOILSCAPE Open Call aims to incentivize the integration of arts, arts-based, and creative approaches to increase soil literacy, raise awareness and engagement with soil and their preservation. To do so, the project has allocated 2,010,000€ for an elaborate FSTP scheme that will support individual applicants and small consortia (up to three (3) partners) in two call categories.

1. SOILSCAPE FSTP: This category includes the selection of twelve (12) sub-projects at different geographic scales (local, national, transnational) within three (3) specific strands of action, lasting six (6), twelve (12) or eighteen (18) months. The three strands include:

• Develop innovative communication campaigns
• Organize and promote artistic-soil related activities
• Deploy innovative, creative, and participatory methodologies to engage citizens with soil protection and preservation

2. Soil Orchestra FSTP: In order to support the expansion of the Soil Orchestras and the execution of impactful soil festivals, SoilScape will fund an additional three (3) sub-projects in each of the eight (8) Soil Orchestras. Each of these 24 sub-projects can receive up to 40K€ and will follow an 18 month implementation period.
