INSPARK is a grant programme designed to spark self-discovery, creative expression and community-driven change from within. INSPARK is an invitation to Armenian youth in Lebanon to break new ground, explore innovative ideas and share diverse voices with the world. By igniting imagination and fuelling purpose, INSPARK empowers participants to craft meaningful projects that enrich their lives and communities, ultimately helping to shape the future of Armenian culture. Up to 10 grants of € 7,500 each will be awarded.
