Dr Kafoutchoni’s reading

The key word here is « organizers »: this support targets the event organizer, not a regular participant. The real screening then happens through the local or regional call, because some editions are tailored to a specific area. The right move is to prepare a short event brief, a reasoned budget, and check the matching call before building the application.
