“COOL KOTKA” Open Call in Finland

Information in Finnish can be found here.

In the CCI4Change project, public authorities and Culture and Creative sector practitioners and entrepreneurs work together to better engage with citizens and encourage them to reduce energy consumption. In May 2024 the 3 innovation seed money open calls are to be announced in Latvia, Finland and Sweden. Through the practical pilots the culture and creative practitioners will be invited to collaboratively tackle energy-consumption related challenges of the local authorities. To help CCI practitioners build cross-innovation skills and create clear proposals for the calls, partners are organising 3 parallel capacity building programmes in all three surroundings.

The “COOL KOTKA” open call is organised by City of Kotka in collaboration with Xamk and Cursor Oy.

Are you a theatre director, photographer, playwright, composer, sculptor, new media artist or any other creative professional? Want to know how you can get involved in sustainable development? This is the opportunity for you!

2-4 projects will be selected from the applications, each of which will receive a maximum financing of EUR 10 000.
