eligible for the funding:
• Broad community involvement
- The project will create opportunities for local
communities to engage with and participate in arts
activities.
• Diversity - The project will support the
diverse arts and cultural traditions of local communities,
enriching and promoting their uniqueness and cultural
diversity.
• Young people - The project will enable and
encourage young people (under 18 years) to engage with and
actively participate in the arts.
