Confidence Building:
In its grantmaking, BST defines Confidence Building measures as
informal measures designed and implemented by non-state actors that
address, prevent, or resolve uncertainties among states or
territories. They are designed to prevent wanted and especially
unwanted escalations of hostilities and build mutual trust.
Confidence Building projects should be initiated by civil society
organizations and groups, and should seek to successfully involve
various population groups from the region in the projects’ activities.
Organizations requesting grants must be legally registered
inAzerbaijan, Armenia, Georgia, Turkey, Russia and Moldova.
Involvement of partners from other countries, especially EU, is welcome.
Confidence Building projects may focus on the following areas:
• People to people contacts and societal dialogues
• Art and culture as bridges between people
• Approaches to reconciliation and peace that incorporate experiences
from history and convey them to the younger generation
• The role of media in overcoming stereotypes
• Innovative approaches to confidence building
Cross-Border Initiatives:
Cross-Border Initiatives seeks to encourage public, private, and
nonprofit policy and civic entities to develop programs that promote
regional cooperation and stability through funding initiatives aimed
at, among others:
• Arranging cross-border dialogues among governmental entities, civic
organizations, and policy institutes
• Facilitating an exchange of best practices in key economic and
governmental policy areas, as well as among citizens and nonprofit
groups
• Exploring ways to lower the physical and legal barriers between
countries in the Black Sea region
• Promoting regional-wide efforts to build political, cultural, and
economic networks
• Promoting regional security and development
Involvement of additional partners (especially those from the EU) is
possible and welcome.
Eastern Links:
Eastern Links programmatic area attempts to establish linkages between
groups from Central and Eastern Europe, and the Baltic states, with
their Black Sea counterparts to share expertise, experience and
information that are essential in promoting the political, social, and
economic development necessary for long-term stability in the region.
The involvement of additional partners (especially those from the EU)
is possible and welcome.
Eastern Links projects may focus on the following areas:
