87 ansøgninger til OpEn-puljen i april
Ved seneste ansøgningsrunde i OpEn â Udenrigsministeriets Oplysnings- og Engagementspulje var der 87 ansøgninger for i alt 60.698.116 kroner. Der er cirka 17,5 millioner kroner til fordeling.
- Selvom OpEn nu har eksisteret i tre år, ser vi stadig nye hovedansøgere og samarbejdspartnere i puljen - mens andre ansøgere søger igen efter at have fået værdifuld læring med oplysning og engagement af neutrale målgrupper i tidligere OpEn-bevillinger, som de kan bygge ovenpå, siger Camilla Bøgelund, rådgiver på puljen.
Ansøgere til puljen får svar senest den 27. juni. Fristen er blevet udsat på grund af det store antal ansøgninger til formidlingslegater under OpEn i februar, som også skulle behandles grundigt af bevillingssystemet.
Man kan finde en liste over formidlingslegater her.

Civilsamfund i skyggen â seminar om Ukraine og Georgien
Hvordan arbejder civilsamfundsorganisationer i Ukraine og Georgien under pres fra krig, politisk ustabilitet og begrænset statslig opbakning? Det er omdrejningspunktet for et seminar den 11. juni i Ukraine House i København med titlen Civil society in the shadows.
Seminaret sætter fokus pÃ¥ de mange udfordringer, som civilsamfundsaktører stÃ¥r over for â herunder politisk pres, juridiske restriktioner og personlige risici. Deltagerne vil fÃ¥ indblik i, hvordan civilsamfundet arbejder for at opbygge resiliens, mobilisere lokalt og søge støtte hos internationale partnere. Der vil ogsÃ¥ være en diskussion om, hvordan globale aktører kan bidrage til at beskytte og styrke civilsamfundet i de to lande.
â Man ser i bÃ¥de Ukraine og Georgien et civilsamfund, der arbejder under vanskelige forhold, men som samtidig viser en stærk evne til at mobilisere, pÃ¥virke og skabe netværk, siger Jacob Thorsen, rÃ¥dgiver i CISU.
Blandt oplægsholderne er:
⢠Julia Samokhvalova, Bevar Ukraine/East SOS/Dansk Helsinki-Komité, Ukraine
⢠Ketevan Vashakidze, Europe Foundation, Georgien
⢠Olga Nikolska, Isar Ednannia, Ukraine
⢠Jan Ole Haagensen, Nunca Más, Danmark

Here comes another newsletter from CISU.
Today is not just Friday. Itâs also Store Bededag â the Danish Great Prayer Day. You probably remember it as a welcome spring holiday that made the weekend a little longer.
Now, itâs an ordinary working day in most places â and the same goes for us here at CISU. I had actually forgotten about the day off, but it reminded me that the world doesnât only move forward. Some things do get worse, and we have to adapt. And perhaps even find our own ways to make the weekend feel a little longer.
That feeling may be a small consolation, especially when looking at the things currently going seriously wrong in the world. But still â change often begins with the small things.
Happy reading â and happy Store Bededag to those still celebrating it

After-Work Meeting on Rights-Based Work with Indigenous Peoples
On 21 May, CISU is hosting an after-work meeting at Vartov focusing on rights-based development work with indigenous peoples in Asia, Africa, and Latin America.
Participants will gain insights into how indigenous communities organise themselves, and how to practically carry out a free, prior, and informed consent process â commonly referred to as FPIC.
â Itâs partly about gaining a better understanding of who is defined as indigenous and tribal peoples, and what rights they hold under international standards, says CISU advisor Claus Kjærby.
The meeting is especially relevant for programme and project applicants, consultants, and fund managers within development funding â with particular relevance to those working with CISUâs Civil Society Fund. Coffee and tea will be served from 15:00. The programme begins at 15:30 and ends at 17:30. The event will be held in Danish, and registration is available on CISUâs website.
87 Applications for the OpEn Fund in April
In the latest application round for OpEn â the Ministry of Foreign Affairsâ Public Information and Engagement Fund â a total of 87 applications were submitted, amounting to DKK 60,698,116. Approximately DKK 17.5 million is available for distribution.
â Although OpEn has now been running for three years, weâre still seeing new lead applicants and partners in the fund â while others are reapplying, building on valuable lessons learned from previous OpEn grants involving public information and engagement of neutral target groups, says Camilla Bøgelund, advisor on the fund.
Applicants will receive a response no later than 27 June. The deadline has been extended due to the large number of applications for communication grants under OpEn in February, which also needed to be thoroughly reviewed by the grant system.
A list of communication grant recipients can be found here.
