What the grant funds

A. PROGRAM DESCRIPTION The U.S. Embassy Prague Public Diplomacy Section (PDS) of the U.S. Department of State announces an open competition for organizations to submit applications to coordinate and carry out a series of outdoor, travelling exhibits in Czech towns to inform Czech citizens of cultural, strategic or historic ties between the United States and the Czech Republic. Please follow all instructions below. Program Objectives: The information aims to raise their awareness of the strong partnership between the United States and Czech Republic, and improve perceptions of the United States as a strategic partner. Program Details: The exhibits will consist of eight, double-sided, outdoor exhibition stands for a total of 16 panels (size A0), which the U.S. Embassy already owns and will provide to the selected partner. The exhibit should change locations every 4-6 weeks. PDS will work with the grantee to identify exhibit themes and locations, focusing on towns and cities outside of Prague. The grantee should have experience in event management and public outreach activities, including graphic design, advertising and logistics. The grantee will manage all facets of the program, in close coordination with the PDS, including: · Graphic design, translation of text if needed, and printing of exhibit panels (which can be done by third-party vendors). The PDS will provide content for the exhibitions, including themes, art, photos and text, and must approve all final artwork. The panels shall be printed on high-quality, aluminum panels (example here: https://www.fotografieobrazy.cz/index.php/fotokolaz/52-alu-fotokolaz). · Transportation, installation, and monitoring of the stands, which are sectional. Assembled measurements are 200 centimeters (height) by 108 centimeters (width), and 128 kilograms. The heaviest individual piece is 30 kilograms. · Communication and applying for/receiving permits, as required, with municipal authorities to coordinate the use of public spaces (town square, park, etc.). · Event planning for kickoff events in each exhibit location, including microphone/speaker/lectern (if necessary), advertising/media advisories and refreshments. · When not in use, grantee will store the stands and exhibits in a secure, covered location. Participants and Audiences: The target audience for the program is adults and students in cities all over the Czech Republic. B.
