What is the purpose of the call?
Spaces of Culture is a new programme focused specifically on Sub-Saharan Africa and modelled on the European Spaces of Culture programme. It prioritises collaboration, dialogue, and mutual learning between European and local partners in Sub-Saharan Africa.
Spaces of Culture launches as part of the wider Africa-Europe Partnerships for Culture programme from the European Commission, which aims to encourage cooperation between African and European artists, creators, and cultural professionals.

The purpose of this call is to support cultural relations projects in Sub-Saharan African countries, based on equal partnerships and local ownership, involving local cultural and civil society stakeholders, EUNIC members, and EU Delegations.
Selected projects will demonstrate innovation and relevance to the local context and exemplify both fair partnerships and an elaboration of the ‘Team Europe’ approach in Sub-Saharan Africa.
Who can apply?
The call aims to broaden the range of local organisations collaborating with European counterparts in Sub-Saharan Africa. The call also supports the involvement of EUNIC members that wish to intensify their collaboration on the continent, particularly where the presence of EU Member States or a EUNIC cluster is limited.
Project proposals must include a minimum of: three key local cultural and/or civil society partners, three full EUNIC members (with possible exceptions in countries with limited EUNIC presence), and involvement from EU Delegation(s) in the country(ies).
