Call for Proposals: IYF Silk Roads Cooperation Grant

Since 2017, the International Youth Forum (IYF) on Creativity and Heritage along the Silk Roads has mobilized over 800 participants from 146 countries to foster intercultural dialogue and heritage conservation. To transition from dialogue to tangible impact, the UNESCO Regional Office for East Asia is launching the IYF Silk Road Cooperation Grant. This initiative aims to bridge the last three editions of the forum (2023-2025) and provide seed funding to transform youth-led ideas into sustainable, real-world practices.
