Recraft the Past: Build up the Future 2

If your answer is Yes, this opportunity is for you.

In the framework of RECRAFT THE PAST: Build up the Future 2 public Call, EU4Culture invites non-governmental organisations in municipalities of Tirana, Mirdita, Durrës, Kavaja, Rrogozhina and Kruja to submit their proposals for funding projects that support communities living in the areas surrounding the cultural heritage sites affected by the November 2019 earthquake.
