About the Call for Proposals EU-LAC Cultural Identities
The cultural ties between the European Union and Latin America and the Caribbean form one of the pillars of the bi-regional strategic partnership, which is why the EU-LAC Foundation has as one of its fundamental purposes "to foster cultural cooperation between the two regions".
In this sense, the main objective of the Call was to present unpublished testimonies on transnational migration and diasporic experiences between generations of European immigrants in Latin America and the Caribbean or Latin American and Caribbean immigrants in Europe, as a way to contribute to mutual knowledge and better understanding between the two regions.
For this first edition, applicants from EU-LAC Foundation member countries submitted their proposals, individually or collectively authored, for evaluation by a jury of independent international experts. The proposals were evaluated according to the criteria of originality, thematic relevance and compliance with the formal requirements of the Call for Proposals.
