A new European contact point was set up by the Ministry of Culture in January, the main task of which is to promote the grant programme Europe for Citizens, as well as to provide other assistance for international projects within the EU.
The centre is based in the Theatre Institute of Bratislava and will deal primarily with applications for funding for civil projects, reported Sita newsire.
The Europe for Citizens project is aimed to boost the idea of European citizenship by supporting local authorities in organising conferences, workshops, sports events and so on, which relate to some kind of international co-operation and topical European issues.
