The Next Generation is a programme created specifically for and with young people (ages 15-30). 

Through this programme we are looking for partnerships with organisations that work with young people to build more inclusive, open-minded societies and provide safe spaces for young people to create their own narratives. 

We offer both individual project grants through Next Generation calls for proposals, as well as longer-term grants for organisations through our NextGen partnerships.  The Next Generation programme also includes a Prince Claus Next Generation Award for a young person or organisation that has done exemplary cultural work related to youth, gender, diversity and inclusion. Also through this programme, we support in-depth research to document the impact of cultural investment.  For a detailed overview, click here.
