From 2026, the Nordic Council of Ministers’ grant programme Volt will open two annual application rounds instead of one. This will give actors in the Nordic region more opportunities to apply for support for projects that strengthen children’s and young people’s own cultural and artistic creativity.

You can apply for support from Volt for projects in all areas of art and culture, such as film, literature, performing arts, visual arts and cultural heritage, as long as the application criteria are met. Volt supports Nordic collaborations in which children and young people are not only the target group, but also active co-creators. 

Deadline for applications in 2026: April 8 and September 17.

With two annual application rounds, Volt becomes more flexible and accessible for projects that arise at different times of the year. The maximum amount that can be applied for is €35,000 per project.
