The Marc de Montalembert Foundation invites applications for a grant opportunity that contributes towards developing a better knowledge of the cultures of the Mediterranean world as well as their dissemination, particularly among the young people of that region.
To encourage young people in acquiring a better knowledge of the cultures of their region, one or two grants – scholarships for projects – are awarded each year for the realization of a cultural undertaking or one having to do with the development of a craft. The Foundation expects concrete results from the project. Whatever form of expression chosen – written, oral, visual, – the outcome must be an original piece of work which the Foundation may consider helping to publish or promote. The candidate may decide to finalize the result of the project in residence at the Marc de Montalembert Foundation on the island of Rhodes in Greece. The subjects treated by grant beneficiaries for thirty projects since 1994 come under the headings of: “Sculpture”, “Literature”, “Music”, “Painting”, “Engraving”, “Architecture”, “Sociology”, “Photography”, “Ethnography”, “Art History”, “Musicology”.
