You're young and you care about democracy? Apply now for a grant to attend the Global Forum in Taichung!

The Global Forum on Modern Direct Democracy is the largest gathering of direct democracy activists and experts worldwide and this year will take place in Taichung, Taiwan from 30 September until 5 October. This year, the Global Forum will focus on the question “How to move from democracy movements to direct democracy institutions?” and will have a special focus on Taiwan’s new referendum experience. At the Forum, you will get the chance to network with democracy activists from all over the world and gather ideas for your future projects.

Would you like to be a part of it? Win one of 20 travel grants worth up to 1000€ now!

We are offering young activists, experts and artists with an interest in direct democracy a chance to join us at the Forum. Tell us about your campaigns, research or projects in a short statement and join us in Taichung this fall.

Are you an artist? Then we are especially looking to hear from you! Are you a photographer, painter, light artist or video wizard? Do you have a project related to democracy that you would like to present or realise at the Global Forum? Tell us about it in your video. One grant will be resrved for an artist with a suitable project.

 


 

The application is very simple:

  1. Send us a short motivation video. Tell us within one minute what you are working on and why you want to be part of the Global Forum.
  2. We upload the video to our homepage. Afterwards as many people as possible have to vote for your video.
  3. The entries with the most votes will be invited for a video interview with our jury. Our jury will select 15 grantees from South and East Asia and five from the rest of the world.
