Results update – 23 June 2023:
We would like to thank you for your patience while waiting for the final results of call for proposals for bilateral and regional initiatives of the Active Citizens Fund – National Programme and we rush to give you a happy update.
Well, the Selection Committee, consisting of the project supervisors of the projects funded under the Programme, has decided that all applications qualified for the post-award round will receive funding. Congratulations! The competition was very evenly balanced and the applications dealt with so many different topics that it would have been very difficult to choose just 1 of them. Therefore, funding is also awarded to:

- LEVEL UP Association in partnership with Reykjavík City Library | Culture Houses from Iceland,
- ‘No grades school’ Foundation in partnership with Centre for Language and Literacy Rejkjavik from Iceland
- FestivALT Association in partnership with The Falstad Centre Foundation from Norway,
- The Committee for the Defence of Democracy in partnership with Center for Development and the Environment, Oslo University (SUM) from Norway,

The Committee’s decision is due to the reduction of funds for bilateral and regional initiatives and the high competition in the 3rd round among the proposed initiatives (a total of 16 proposals out of 6 initiatives remaining to be supported). We wish all those who sent in their proposals – regardless of the Committee’s decision – the best of luck in implementing their ideas internationally!
