InterActions enables professional exchange and cooperation between civic initiatives, independent media, research institutes and social business in Eastern Europe and Central Asia. By participating in InterActions, activists, journalists, social entrepreneurs, public policy experts and researchers can choose for themselves a suitable host organisation where they want to be placed. Applicants should be affiliated with organisations, movements or networks in their home country. Alternatively, an organisation can use the programme to invite an expert from a like-minded organisation to be placed with them.
There are 2 tracks:
Track 1. For individual applicants
Track 2. For organisations
Both sides participating in the professional exchange should work on related topics but in different countries (see the list of eligible countries below).
What: One to two-month placements for civic activists, researchers, journalists, social entrepreneurs and think tank experts with a host organisation of their choice, and an opportunity for organisations to invite a colleague to be placed with them for a professional exchange.
When: September – December 2020 / February – May 2021 / June – Aug 2021
Language: English, Russian
Applicants should decide what they want to gain from their professional exchange and how to achieve it. They need to agree on it with either their host organisation or their invited guest (depending on who is the applicant) before submitting their application. As part of the application process for the InterActions Programme, the applicant should submit a proposal with a general concept for their professional exchange.
The Prague Civil Society Centre will select the participants based on the concepts they submit as part of their application. Successful candidates will be provided with financial support to cover the costs related to their exchange.
Individual or organisations working in one or more of these fields:
• NGOs, civil society groups focused on human rights, ecology, urbanism, and other related topics
• Independent media and social media influencers
• Think tanks
• Research institutes engaged with our key themes
• Social business
• IT start-ups with social impact
• Informal education initiatives (for example, online education platforms)
Applicants should have proven experience and commitment to their field in their country or region.
Former Prague Civil Society Centre fellows and interns cannot apply for Track 1, but they can encourage others to apply or use the Interactions Programme to invite a colleague to their organisation for a professional exchange within Track 2. If you’ve participated in any other programme or event hosted by the Centre, you are still eligible to apply.
Applicants must submit a budget proposal of up to EUR 4,000. Up to EUR3000 of this amount is meant to cover the travel and living expenses of the person visiting the organisation. It can be used to cover flight tickets, accommodation, food, local transportation, telecommunications, and other related costs. A fixed sum of ЕУР 1,000 from the total budget will go to the host organisation as a host fee. Organisations applying to the programme under Track 2 can choose to allocate a part of their host fee as an honorarium for the invited guest and use the remaining amount to cover other expenses.
The final amount of financial support awarded varies depending on the length and location of the InterActions exchange. We kindly ask applicants to be modest and realistic in their budget proposals and to look into more economic options when calculating, for example, accommodation or travel costs. The budget proposal is one of the criteria we take into consideration when selecting participants. The final amount to be awarded is subject to change before funding is allocated.
