Deadline for applications: 30 September 2014
The Armenian Communities Department of the Calouste Gulbenkian
Foundation has opened a call for proposals to develop electronic and
on-line children's learning games, language programmes,
apps, interactive books, cartoons and any other electronic means to
encourage children and young adults to learn and maintain Armenian in
the diaspora. Western Armenian will be privileged in the first
instance, but Eastern Armenian programmes, specifically in the
diasporan context, will be considered, as well as programmes in both
dialects.
The proposals should include the track record of the applicant(s) in
this domain, description of the educational activity, the target group
(age, linguistic proficiency, bilingualism, etc.), a time line when it
will be ready, a budget, dissemination strategy, technical information
(including suggested platform(s) and operating system(s),
upgradability potential), names of the technical and
linguistic/pedagogical teams developing the programme, and any other
information that is relevant to the application. The programmes must
be freely available on line or through other electronic dissemination
means. The initiatives can be new programmes or Armenian version of
popular existing programmes. Awards granted will vary in range based
on proposals received (the total budget allocated to this initiative
is 250,000 USD).
The deadline for applications is 30 September 2014. Winning bids will
be announced in November 2014.
Applications should be sent to [email protected], clearly indicating
in the subject line 'Electronic learning proposal'.
