The ‘Novi Sad 2021’ Foundation has carried out the second evaluation within the public call for financial support to local artists and cultural workers for realisation of a study or research trip to Japan within the ‘Kizuna’ exchange programme.

This project, implemented in cooperation with the EU-Japan Fest organisation, encourages mobility of members of Novi Sad cultural scene and establishes cooperation with Japanese cultural organisations and artists.

The second phase of the evaluation of the proposed projects has been done by the selection panel of the ‘Novi Sad 2021’ Foundation. The suggested projects are sent to the EU-Japan Fest for confirmation, which will be followed by the final decision on selection of candidates. The total amount of the financial grant for realisation of the study trip for applicants is 100,000 yen.

The selection panel has decided to recommend the following candidate and his project ideas:

• Martin Pavlik

We would like to remind that the public call for ‘Kizuna’ programme is continuously open, and that expert services of the ‘Novi Sad 2021’ Foundation will continue to work on development of suggested projects with all candidates in order to provide help with drafting successful applications.
