  "Actors of Urban Change" is a Europe-wide 
program by the Robert Bosch Stiftung in 
cooperation with MitOst e.V. It aims to 
achieve sustainable and participatory urban 
development through cultural activities. This is 
carried out by strengthening the competencies for 
cross-sector collaboration among actors from the 
cultural sphere, the administration, and the 
private sector who form teams of three committed 
to implementing a project in their city. Using 
culture as a tool and context, the projects might 
address a broad range ofsocial, political and 
environmental challenges related to urban change.

On a local level, the teams receive support for 
the implementation of their joint projects 
through grants and individual coaching. On 
an international level, they benefit from further 
qualification through workshops, seminars, 
peer-learning sessions and field trips during 
meetings and shadowing internships with teams 
from different cities, allowing for Europe-wide 
exchange and networking.

  Applications from all 47 member countries of the 
Council of Europe as well as Belarus and Kosovo 
can be submitted untilSeptember 13, 2015. A 
detailed description of the program and contact 
information, as well as access to the call, FAQs 
and the online application, are available
