The Open Call for New Partner Organisations invites Open House organisers from across Europe to join the consortium, aiming to expand the project. This is an exceptional opportunity to engage in continent-wide collaboration and knowledge exchange. Two selected organisations will each receive a 10,000 euros grant to implement the Open House Europe programme in 2025. They will gain international visibility, participate in the Annual Summit, and join the project as fellow partners.
To qualify, applicants must be established as legal entities that have organised local Open House events at least once, be based in countries eligible for Creative Europe funding, be members of the Open House Worldwide network, and possess sufficient financial and human resources to fully implement Open House Europe activities. The deadline for submissions is August 16, 2024. Selected applicants will be informed by September 30, 2024.

The Open Call for Guest Cities targets organisations that have already established an Open House festival in their city or are just planning to organise their first event. This is an exceptional opportunity to connect with the Open House community in Europe and beyond. Three selected organisations will be invited to attend the Annual Summit in Dublin, Ireland, in January 2025, with travel and accommodation costs covered. They will explore annual themes, exchange knowledge, and gain valuable insights on best practices for organising an Open House festival. Additionally, their programmes will be represented on the Open House Europe website and the Digital Atlas.
To qualify, applicants must be established as legal entities planning or having already organised their local Open House festival, be based in countries eligible for Creative Europe funding, and align with Open House Worldwide values. The deadline for submissions is August 16, 2024. Selected applicants will be informed by September 30, 2024.
