U.S. Mission to Luxembourg: Engaging Students in English

Overview

The Public Diplomacy Section (PD) of the U.S. Embassy in Luxembourg announces an open competition for organizations to submit applications to carry out programs strengthening bilateral ties between the United States and Luxembourg on Engaging Students in English.

 
The U.S. Embassy Luxembourg invites proposals from non-governmental organizations, think tanks, government institutions, academic institutions, and individuals for programs strengthening the bilateral ties between the United States and Luxembourg and Engaging Students in English, including, but not limited to:

•  Programs focused on strengthening specific English language skills or professional English capacity of students, such as public-speaking, debate, theater/drama.
•  Programs that enhance and promote the English-teaching profession and community, such as trainings, workshops, conferences, or presentations for English educators in Luxembourg.
• English-language programs for underprivileged groups including but not limited to patrons of organizations, such as shelters for refugees, women, abuse victims or children’s organizations.
• Educational programs such as English language camps, academic competitions, international exchanges, conferences, workshops, courses, exhibits, hackathons, online projects, or performances.
• Projects that share American best practices in English-language education by bringing U.S. experts to engage with students and teachers in Luxembourg.

U.S. organizations applying for funding must partner with a Luxembourgish organization.

The submission of the SOI is the first step in a two-step process. Applicants must first submit a Statement of Interest  designed to clearly communicate program idea and objectives. This is not a full proposal.

The Grants Committee will review Statements of Interest (SOI) twice based on the following schedule. The Grants Committee recommends applicants submit proposals with start dates three to six months (or more) after the submission deadline.

Round 1 SOI Deadline: March 15, 2023 by 11:59 PM CEST
Round 2 SOI Deadline: May 15, 2023 by 11:59 PM CEST

After each deadline, eligible SOIs will be reviewed by the Grants Committee. Selected applicants will be invited to expand on their program idea(s) by submitting a full proposal application (Phase 2). Full proposals will go through a second merit review before final funding decision are made.
