Links and ideas

Hi all,

here are some links I was talking about -

to see the music videos of Cat Power& Sonic Youth
(there are some oher trailers etc) go here

Some webpages with a design that i like-

* maching the notebook i showed you today - here is the website of this project

http://notes.e.org.pl/

* another project of that association: a project called FOR. It is for young managers of culture. The 5 words under the main title mean- przestrzen-space, czas-time, dzwiek-sound, slowo-word, obraz-picture. I like the colors a lot and the general design. It's very simple, but very clear and it looks good.

http://e.org.pl/dla/

* another project of the association: young menagers of culture. the name suggests its pyrpose. The page is even mre simple then the other one, but I again like the colours and the design plus the picture of the girl and the guy is also a poster.

http://www.mmk.v8.pl/

* another project of the association: inspiration-activation. to give ideas to yound ppl, to activate, to motivate the youth workes to work with them and to make them motivate the youth later on. Its hard to get a hang of it if you dont spea polsh, but just look at the design, the ways the menus are made etc.

* You can also check the general webside of the assocation:

http://www.e.org.pl/
I guess it's all in a sort of the same style.

* There is also a nice independent music festival, which has a simple but cool webpage-

Flyers, posters?

I contacted some Friends from Amnesty International, who are right now organizing their own festival and they gave me some advices about printing flyers. They have a good print shop in Germany and it's not expensive to ship the stuff to us and a lot of us speak German anyway :)

Festival Blog and Funding

Susanne had the idea to start a blog for our Festival project. All the ideas and founding will put there ( at least this is the idea). See the blog here

I started looking into the organizational part of the festival already a bit and I sent an email and posted an entry on our blog about the funding possibilities. I'll put it here too, keep all important material on my own weblog too.

Funding Options

We could try "UM Stimuleringsfonds". Contact person is Karin Makkinga. Her e-mail address is: karin.makkinga@ssc.unimaas.nl

We could also try Gemeente Maastricht, department "Kunst en Cultuur" (Art and Culture). Tel. 350 5447 (or the operator 350 4000).

Another option is the Province of Limburg. Tel. 389 9999.

I wrote in the email that I will have a look into the first possibility and this is what I found out-

Promotion Fund

New organizations or special, unforeseen activities sometimes fail to meet (as yet) the criteria and conditions to qualify for structural funding. To prevent promising initiatives from failing to come to fruition because of lack of funds, the UM Promotion Fund was set up.

The objectives of the UM Promotion Fund include supporting initiatives which:

are of importance for all UM students;
constitute a positive contribution to student life in Maastricht;
have a positive effect on the image of the UM;
promote active participation by students
cannot make use of other internal or external funding:
are open to both UE and HVE students;
are not aimed at students of one discipline;
do not overlap with existing activities;
are supported by sufficient publicity;
are internationally orientated.
An application should agree with more than one of the abovementioned conditions.

Applications

Applications may be submitted 8 weeks before the start of the activity, by UM students, student organizations or student associations.
Each application must include the following data:
identification of the applicant or organization (name, address, telephone number, e-mail address and bank/giro account, contact person);
a description of the activity or the project (objective, content, target group, publicity plan, timetable);
a thorough budget.

Acceptance

In principle, each application may qualify for funding from the UM Promotion Fund for up to €1815 on an annual basis. For the same kind of activity an application may be submitted for maximally three successive years.Subsidies may be granted as a guarantee, which means that in the case of loss, the amount of subsidies is paid back in part or in full after the end of the activity.

Procedure

Applications for funding from the UM Promotion Fund must be submitted in writing - undersigned by the applicant - to Student Services, attention of the Secretary of the UM Promotion Fund Committee, P.O.Box 616, 6200 MD Maastricht.
The UM Promotion Fund Committee shall take a decision with respect to the application within 6 weeks after receipt. The Promotion Fund Committee consists of a student and the Director of Student Services.
The applicant is obliged to report in writing within 3 months after completion of the activity as to the effects of the activity and the use made of the means provided.
More information: 043 - 3885263.
