Deadline: 14 November 2023
As part of its project funded by the French Office for Biodiversity (OFB), the MedWet Initiative is relaunching a call for projects to provide a financial boost for the Mediterranean actors in the realization of awareness and educational animations within the framework of the World Wetlands Day 2024.
The Ramsar Convention has set an annual theme and provides event organizers with visual materials in several languages: brochures, posters, games, and so on. For this edition, the chosen theme is “human well-being”.
Objectives of the call for projects
The objectives of this call for projects are to work towards:
- Initiating and/or facilitating the realization of animations or tools for sensitization and education about wetlands in the Mediterranean;
- Raising the awareness of the general public for the conservation of wetlands in the Mediterranean;
- Encouraging actors to participate in an event of global importance; and
- Creating a network of initiatives embodying these values in the Mediterranean region.
Benefit
- This new call for projects will make it possible to select 34 projects of up to 250 euros to provide a financial boost for their animation(s) of sensibilization and education within the framework of World Wetlands Day.
Typology of animations/awareness and education tools
- World Wetlands Day is a special occasion to bring together wetland users and talk to them about these environments and their importance in the Mediterranean. Particular attention is paid to:
- Animations/tools targeting a young audience (up to 25 years old) with pedagogical aims; and
- Tools that can be employed during other events.
- Proposed animations/tools that could be financed. This list is not exhaustive and should be considered as examples:
- Cultural activities
- Workshops
- Construction sites
- Conferences, debates
- Exhibitions
- Observation points
- Screening of movies
- Educational projects
- Nature excursions
- Participatory science
- The applicant organization undertakes to assign the rights of reproduction, dissemination and availability of all documents submitted under this call for projects free of charge. After the use of the financial support, a feedback report about the animation will be greatly appreciated (level of participation, number of tools distributed, etc.).
