Important information
With the Open Call Fresh Perspectives, the Fund supports makers in offering new perspectives on social, cultural, economic and political issues. In doing so, the Fund stimulates cross-sector collaborations in which makers, designers and architects can, together with other organizations, come to new and surprising approaches.
Designers, architects, makers and observers who have been running their own practice for at least three years within the design, digital culture or architecture disciplines can submit an application. Collectives and duos are also welcome.
At least one of the collaboration partners has proven knowledge of the theme that is central to the proposal and is active in an area of expertise that is different from the designer’s. This can include partners like platforms, labs, collectives, knowledge institutions, archives and/or other types of social organizations.
Please note: In this open call we are explicitly stimulating cross-sector collaborations. Proposals must be submitted by the designer.
The open call focuses on collaborations, in which parties work together to approach a social issue in a new way. Depending on the issue, the project can take on different forms, like an activation, programming, a publication, a service or a product.
fase 1
(duur max. 6 maanden – 10 x € 10.000. Startdatum: 1 januari 2024)
Je vraagt aan voor het opstarten van het project. Deze fase kan gebruikt worden om
de mogelijkheden van een project te onderzoeken. In de aanvraag beschrijf je de activiteiten die bijdragen aan het scherpstellen van inhoud en organisatorische kant van je project. Je werkt bijvoorbeeld de probleemstelling of onderzoeksvragen verder uit, doet vooronderzoek of een experiment, bouwt aan een prototype of proof of concept, werkt het publieks- of communicatieplan verder uit en bestendigd de samenwerkingen.
Naast het beschrijven van de activiteiten in de startfase is het van belang dat je in grote lijnen inzicht geeft in het beoogde (vervolg)project, plan voor het delen van de opgedane kennis en eindresultaat.
fase 2
(duur max. 12 maanden – 5 x € 40.000. Startdatum: 1 oktober 2024)
Je vraagt aan voor het vervolg van het vooronderzoek en/of experiment uit fase 1, ofwel de uitvoering van het project. Het project kan bijvoorbeeld bestaan uit een activatie, programmering, publicatie, dienst, product, podcast, manifestatie of interventie. Aan het eind van het project vindt er een passende presentatie of andere vorm van kennisdeling plaats.
Let op: dit bedrag wordt in twee fasen verleend. Cofinanciering is bij deze open oproep mogelijk, maar niet noodzakelijk. Alle ingebrachte tijd en middelen, ook eventuele cofinanciering, moeten op de begroting worden vermeld en gekwantificeerd. Je kunt alleen aanvragen voor fase 2 als je fase 1 volledig hebt doorlopen.
