Frifond kompetanse og aktivitet

Frifond kompetanse og aktivitet provides support to local groups in national music organizations that have activities for and with children and young people under 26 years. The grant enables local groups to implement competency-building initiatives, realize extraordinary activities, and initiate and implement collaboration projects. The funding scheme supports competency-enhancing measures in local groups, implementation of extraordinary activities, or initiation and implementation of larger collaboration projects, integration projects, seminars, courses, and much more. Priority is given to applications for inclusion, integration, ethnic diversity, recruitment, volunteer training, holiday programs, and reduced co-payments. Groups must consist of minimum three members, work according to democratic principles, and be open and inclusive. At least one-third of participants in the activity must be under 26 years of age. The group must have local affiliation and conduct activities in the local community, normally within their own municipality, though exceptions may be made if the initiative benefits the local community.
