YWCA-YMCA of Sweden Film Grant

Since 2019, YWCA-YMCA of Sweden has actively invested in young filmmaking to strengthen young people's voices. The film grant is awarded to young filmmakers among partner organizations in Africa, Eastern Europe and Palestine to support projects that address young people's role and opportunities in society and/or young people's work towards a peaceful and sustainable society. The grant welcomes both those who are working with film as well as beginners. The film project should have a connection to the UN Security Council's Resolution on Youth, Peace and Security (UNSCR 2250), dealing with topics such as young people's participation in society and its development, youth safety and rights, young people's opportunities and potential, access to education and meaningful leisure time, and inclusion of different groups of youth. A total of two grants will be awarded annually.
