Program Objectives: This program will deepen understanding of the United States through the engagement of U.S. experts, artists, performers, or cultural works at festivals in Poland. Strong proposals will also advance priorities in the U.S.-Polish partnership, including but not limited to promoting economic, social, and scientific innovation; strengthening democratic practice, civic engagement, and tolerance; promoting gender equality; or building ties with next generation leaders and community influencers. Participants and Audiences PD Poland’s primary audiences for this funding opportunity are Polish students and young professionals, ages 18-35, as well as community influencers. PD Poland encourages efforts to ensure gender parity and geographic and socio-economic inclusion across all its activities. Applicants should be as specific as possible in their proposals about their project’s primary audience and how they will attract them to participate in the festival.

Key Programming Descriptions: Each proposal should meet the following objectives: Facilitate enduring connections between American artists, performers, or experts and Polish audiences. Promote American artists, performers, experts, or cultural works (films, theater performances, literature, music, etc.) to Polish audiences through festivals held in Poland.
