Call for FIERCE Actions: Empowering Feminist Movements in Europe

Are you passionate about feminist activism and democratic innovation? FIERCE (Feminist Movements Revitalizing Democracy in Europe) invites you to participate in our call for ‘FIERCE Actions’!

This European Horizon Research and Innovation Project aims to strengthen alliances between feminist movements, civil society, and political decision-makers to address social inequalities and counteract anti-gender movements.

What Are FIERCE Actions?

FIERCE Actions are community-driven initiatives designed to promote democratic participation and innovation from an intersectional feminist perspective. We are looking for projects that:

• Counteract anti-gender speech and defend gender-related rights.
• Involve underrepresented groups in politics through street, artistic, or cultural activities.
• Review participative democracy processes at local and national levels.
• Organize feminist assemblies, speech groups, and encounters to address barriers to democratic participation.

Up to 16 actions will be supported across our participating countries: Greece, Denmark, Italy, Spain, France, Poland, Slovenia, and Turkey.

How to Apply

• Apply Here: FIERCE Actions Application Form
• Funding: Up to €3,700 per action.
• Deadline: September 15, 2024 (midnight CET).
• Applications can be in English or the main language of the country where the action will be implemented.

Beyond the Action

Successful applicants will join a vibrant transnational network of activists and participate in FIERCE research, including:

• FIERCE Winter Week: A learning event in Venice, Italy, from November 4-7, 2024.
• Transnational Network Meetings: Collaborative meetings held both in-person and online.
