## What the grant funds

Please note that this notice is subject to availability of funding. PROGRAM DESCRIPTION The Public Diplomacy Section (PDS) of the U.S. Embassy in Belgrade announces an open competition for organizations to submit applications for the BOLD Workshop Program. The BOLD (Balkanski omladinski lideri, Young Balkan Leaders in English) network is a project of PDS that seeks to develop the leadership capacity of young Serbians by empowering them to implement projects for positive change in their communities in two thematic areas: civic engagement and economic development. Anyone age 18-35 in Serbia can join the BOLD network where members have access to three main types of competitive opportunities: 1. BOLD Academic Fellowships: Two in-depth leadership training experiences in the United States for 5-6 weeks, one on each BOLD theme. 2. BOLD Workshops: Two workshops, one week to 10 days long, on leadership and project management, each on one of the BOLD themes. 3. BOLD Small Grant Competition: An annual competition, open to all BOLD members, for funds up to $15,000 to implement projects in the areas of the BOLD themes over the course of a year. Priority Region: Serbia. PDS Belgrade strongly urges potential applicants to consider recruiting participants for these workshops from cities and towns in Serbia outside of Belgrade. Program Objectives: The BOLD Action Workshop Program consists of two workshops to take place in Serbia for one week to 10 days each, one on the theme of civic engagement and one on the theme of economic development. Workshops should be scheduled in accordance with school/academic calendars. Applicants may propose implementation of either one of the workshops, OR implementation of two workshops. If the proposal is for one workshop, please indicate in box “c” of the application form if the theme will be civic engagement or economic development. The proposal should contain a detailed day-by-day schedule for each workshop, and other necessary information that makes it clear to anyone not familiar with it how the program will meet the stated objectives and projected outcomes. The primary outcome desired by PDS is for workshop participants, either individually or in groups, to design a civic or economic project to be implemented in their communities over the course of the following year.
