Do you want to actively contribute to the life of our village? The municipality of Kelmis invites its residents to submit their projects. Thanks to the support of the German-speaking Community, an envelope of €15,000 is available this year to fund projects with community or participatory benefits.
Interested individuals have until November 15 to submit their projects. The necessary documents can be found in the download area. This citizen participation fund is part of a broader initiative by the German-speaking Community, which is allocating a total of €100,000 to its nine municipalities for participatory budgets.
The supported projects aim particularly to improve the living environment, social cohesion, or local environment. Eligible applicants include de facto associations composed of at least three individuals residing in Kelmis (including one adult representative), non-profit organizations, cooperatives, and social enterprises based in the municipality.
Project selection will be reviewed by the municipal administration, followed by a recommendation from a jury comprising at least five members of the municipal council, representing the various political factions. Project leaders will be required to begin implementation within six months of signing the convention with the municipality of Kelmis.
