With the publication in the Province's Official Gazette (BOP) of the entry requirements, Casares launches the eighth edition of its Blas Infante Awards: Casares in Solidarity for which the municipality has allocated 91,000 euros in grants: 70% for international projects and 30% for educational development in Andalucia and Spain.
On Thursday, 8th October there was an official presentation at the Casa de la Cultura, attended by Mayoress Antonia Morera, and Sebastian Gossatti, president and founder of Nakupenda Sana, who will talk about this organisation and the "Liberty" programme conducted in Gambia thanks to a previous grant from the Blas Infante Awards.
The deadline for applications is 20th December, giving the organisers more time for assessing submitted projects.
Of the 91,000 euro fund, 70% is allocated under the 'Casares for Humanity' scheme which awards projects of international cooperation, and apart from the main prize, there are several smaller awards depending on the number and quality of submitted projects.
A further 30% is awarded to projects closer to home for educational development projects both regional and national.
The awards, which represents 0.7% of the municipality's budget, provide grants to associations and non-governmental organisations engaged in development projects at international, national and regional levels.
The Blas Infante Awards were set up in honour of the town's famous son, and 'Father of Andalucia' Blas Infante, and follow in the spirit of his philosophy, and form part of the Andalucia Day celebrations in February. |
