Grant Description

In setting forth its vision for the National Endowment for the Humanities, Congress declared that ╔к_the humanities reflect the high place accorded by the American people to the nation╔к_s rich cultural heritage and to the fostering of mutual respect for the diverse beliefs and values of all persons and groups.╔к_ To help Americans better understand our own rich cultural heritage, while enhancing public knowledge of and respect for others both here and abroad, NEH has launched the Bridging Cultures initiative. The initiative encourages projects that explore the ways in which cultures from around the globe, as well as the myriad subcultures within America╔к_s borders, have influenced American society. With the aim of revitalizing intellectual and civic life through the humanities, NEH welcomes projects that expand both scholarly and public discussion of diverse countries, peoples, and cultural and intellectual traditions worldwide. As part of its Bridging Cultures initiative, NEH welcomes proposals to implement a national or regional program for broad and diverse public audiences on one of two humanities themes: "Civility and Democracy" or "The Muslim World and the Humanities."
