The UNESCO World Heritage Residence Scholarship 2025 in Sweden is intended for individuals who are interested in developing a cultural or creative connection between the World Heritage site Decorated Farmhouses of Hälsingland and other unique locations of the world. UNESCO motivates countries to become signatories to the World Heritage Convention and work towards preserving their natural and cultural heritage. The organisation plays an important role in helping the States Parties by offering technical assistance and professional training.
To be a part of this UNESCO scholarship, applicants should have a cultural concept relevant to the UNESCO World Heritage list. The international scholarship in Europe is for designers, creative workers, artists, researchers, and other cultural activists from all over the world. Artists should take inspiration from Hälsingland’s decorated farmhouses and should represent the project’s idea. It is important to explain how your project links World Heritage sites. To work on their proposed projects, artists will be invited to Sweden and will be given a budget amount.
World heritage features distinctive and diverse cultural and natural places like the Great Wall of China, the Pyramids of Egypt, the Great Barrier Reef in Australia, the Rohtas Fort in Pakistan, and many others. During this fully funded scholarship, artists can illustrate their projects in different forms, including research, virtual reality, film, audio, photo, storytelling, communication, handicraft, and painting. Apply now if you are someone who is passionate about art and culture.
