Call for projects for digital cultural development in the Canadian Francophonie

Purpose of the program

As part of the cultural policy of Québec Partout, la culture, as well as the Québec Policy on Canadian Francophonie, the Ministry of Culture and Communications is launching the Call for projects for digital cultural development in the Canadian Francophonie . The financial assistance is intended to support digital cultural development projects, in particular promoting the discoverability of French-language cultural content in the digital environment or relating to the acquisition, consolidation and exchange of digital skills in the cultural sector.

The Call for projects is intended for non-profit legal persons (organizations, cooperatives operated for non-profit purposes), cultural enterprises, higher education institutions, research centers and Crown corporations reporting to the Minister of Culture and Communications. The applicant must have its head office in Quebec and have at least one partner from the Canadian Francophonie, that is to say who is based outside Quebec, either in a Canadian province or territory.

Goals

Projects submitted must meet at least one of the following objectives:

• improve the discoverability of Francophone cultural content, by developing new initiatives for the dissemination or co-dissemination of Francophone digital cultural content (example: digitization and dissemination of cultural content);
• encourage the production and widest possible dissemination of metadata that take into account the norms and standards in force, in particular at international level (and ideally in the form of open and linked data);
• promote the development of the digital skills of artists and cultural organizations in Quebec and the Canadian Francophonie, through professional development and expertise transfer activities or the development of awareness, training or consultation strategies, in a perspective of promoting the diversity of cultural expressions;
• pool resources and expertise in digital cultural development by establishing, consolidating or developing networks and alliances with Canadian Francophonie partners;
• develop or experiment with new methods or new tools contributing to digital cultural development (examples: archiving or preservation of digital cultural content, 3D digitization, etc.).
