Grant Program

The aim of the Grant Program is to foster greater constructive collaboration among newsrooms across Europe.

This program responds to the need for greater collaboration among European newsrooms both to learn from best practices and also to launch collaborative projects to enrich their content offerings. It is especially crucial to break down barriers among regions in Europe and develop further cooperation between newsrooms in Central/Eastern Europe and Scandinavia. These grants aim to increase the connections and cooperation between Western & Northern practitioners of solutions/constructive journalism and their counterparts in Central and Eastern Europe. It is a response to the need of newsrooms to expand their horizons beyond their own countries and regions to learn best practices and engage in meaningful constructive journalism projects.

  • Constructive Institue will give out 5 grants for newsrooms in Europe.
  • Each grant can be up to €10,000.
  • The aim is to develop a reporting project with Constructive Journalism elements to strengthen existing reporting.
  • There will be mentoring.
  • Constructive Institute will endeavor to link the newsrooms to leading Constructive Journalism practitioners and thought leaders in the Nordics.
  • The next application deadline is on the 6th of march 2025. Contact Cynara Vetch at cv@constructiveinstitute.org to apply.
