FOSM will support projects for innovative and creative actions and campaigns that should point out the current challenges and offer solutions or additional interpretation of the consequences of inactivity to stop the enormous air pollution, growing threat to biodiversity, waste and abuse of water, solid waste management, etc.

Proposed projects should employ a creative approach to educating citizens and raising awareness, fostering public discussion to advance policy solutions, where the voices and contributions of citizens from economically and socially disadvantaged communities will be respected and included; mobilize the public and advocate for the improvement of policies and practices related to environmental protection and effective climate action. As part of the approach, projects will need to envisage organizing and facilitating consultative processes to involve communities in solving problems that affect them and are expected to cause visible impact and positive changes in the attitudes and behavior of both community members and local representatives of the authorities. For the organizations and activist groups that will be selected to receive grants for the projects, and will have the need, FOSM will provide training on the use of the methodology for creative activism.
