Now when we have decided what to for a project we have to write a grant proposal, or actually two. Why two then? Because to be able to carry out the project we will need a lot more money than CIU (The Swedish Centre for International Youth Exchange) are able to give us. Therefore we have decided to apply for money from the municipality (Umeå Kommun). The application to CIU needs to be written in English and the application to Umeå Kommun (the municipality that we are working in) needs to be written in Swedish. We started writing on the application to CIU last Friday- it was a long day with a lot of hard work but we managed to finish it, the next thing to do is to translate it in to Swedish and send it to Umeå Kommun (which needs to be done as soon as possible!)
