Remembering our Shared History

The U.S Embassy in Luxembourg, under its Public Diplomacy Section, announces a funding opportunity aimed at strengthening the mutual ties between the United States and Luxembourg. The grant is titled "Remembering our Shared History," and intends to illuminate aspects of the U.S.-Luxembourg alliance's historical context, specifically focusing on significant events during World War II, untold stories, and unique aspects of the collaboration between the two nations.

The embassy encourages applications from a wide range of organizations, including non-governmental organizations, academic institutions, think tanks, government institutions, and even individuals. The proposed programs should highlight the importance of this shared history to the younger generations in Luxembourg to ensure that memories of World War II remain vivid. In addition, the programs should promote honest recognition and remembrance of WWII tragedies, primarily the Holocaust.

Applicants can propose various program activities such as public outreach campaigns, historical or cultural exhibits, book discussions, film screenings (both movies and documentaries), and the utilization of various media platforms including broadcast and social media. However, it's crucial that these programs engage Luxembourg audiences and include a U.S. component, such as working with U.S. experts, to promote increased understanding of U.S. policy and perspectives. Please note that any person paid to speak as part of a grant-funded program must be a U.S. citizen.
