Our Caribbean Hub issues 2nd call for proposals to aid cultural and creative professionals

Caribbean operators (individuals and organisations) working in the cultural and creative industries (CCIs) can now apply for the second phase of the ACP-EU Culture’s Creative Caribbean programme. The programme is available in all 15 ACP Caribbean countries.

The entities/categories of persons eligible for this project are:

• CCI actors, artists and entrepreneurs, especially youth and mid-career individuals.
