UNESCO-Aschberg Bursaries for Artists Programme
2005-2006

In the early sixties the Swedish philanthropists Olof and Siri
Aschberg donated a mansion located in Ile-de-France to UNESCO. The
mansion was sold in 1992, and in memory of the donors and in
conformity with the spirit of the couple's gift, UNESCO decided to
invest the sum resulting from the sale and to allocate the totality
of the interest received to the creation of the UNESCO-Aschberg
Bursaries for Artists.

The UNESCO-Aschberg Bursaries for Artists programme was thus
established in 1994 to open new career prospects to young artists and
provide them with the possibility for further training in specialised
institutions.

Since its creation, the number of applications received and
fellowships granted has increased regularly. Hundreds of young
artists have already benefited from the programme. For 2005/2006, the
program proposes 62 fellowships offered by 50 partner institutions in
30 countries.

The fellowships are co-financed by the International Fund for the
Promotion of Culture (IFPC) and an international network of partner
institutions specialised in the training of artists. The IFPC was
created in November 1974 during the 18th session of UNESCO's General
Conference, and has developed into a financial fund that supports
cultural development projects all over the world. Its aim is to help
creators and cultural entrepreneurs to find additional funds for
their projects so that cultural diversity could profit from
globalisation instead of being its victim. For more information,
please consult our website:www.unesco.org/culture/ifpc.
