Applications for the calls "Mê Vizinho" and "Comunidades do Vagar", launched by Évora_27 – European Capital of Culture, run from September 4 to October 7. The two lines provide, in the phase now announced, 160 thousand euros to support community projects in the municipality of Évora and in the 14 municipalities of Central Alentejo. Those interested can apply during this period of just over a month to obtain funding for their initiatives.
The programs are intended to support community-based projects, that is, initiatives that involve the participation and involvement of the local community. The "Mê Vizinho" program focuses on proximity interventions, while "Comunidades do Vagar" seems to target projects with other types of community characteristics, although the article does not specifically detail each program.
The total financial allocation of 160 thousand euros will be distributed among the approved projects in the two calls. The article does not specify the amount assigned to each program individually nor the selection criteria that will be used to choose the projects to support.
Évora_27 – European Capital of Culture is the entity responsible for these calls, as part of its programming that marks the celebration of Évora as European Capital of Culture in 2027. This initiative is part of the city's strategy to promote citizen participation and the cultural development of the Alentejo region through the funding of community projects.
