Opportunity Summary:
The U.S. Embassy in Bratislava (DOS-SVK) announced a discretionary funding opportunity to support a partner organization that can host a TechCamp focused on increasing digital literacy and strengthening critical thinking skills. The core idea is to run a concentrated, two-day workshop that brings together a mix of journalists, civil society activists, and technology experts from the Visegrad 4 (V4) countries. The program is designed to equip these participants with practical resources, tools, and fresh approaches for using digital media to push back against disinformation and conspiracy narratives that have been spreading in the region.
The TechCamp format emphasizes collaboration and problem-solving rather than lecture-only programming. Participants are expected to work together to develop creative, actionable ideas that help with identifying, monitoring, and countering disinformation. In addition to directly addressing false or manipulative content, the camp aims to strengthen the broader information environment by encouraging more objective media reporting on current events and by promoting critical thinking among everyday citizens. In other words, the workshop is meant to support both the supply side (better reporting and stronger civil society responses) and the demand side (a public that is more capable of evaluating online information).
Funding is offered through a cooperative agreement, which typically means the funder expects to remain engaged in the project as it is planned and carried out. The opportunity falls under the Education activity category and is listed under CFDA 19.040. The maximum award amount (award ceiling) is $30,000, and the Embassy anticipated making one award. Eligible applicants include a range of organization types: nonprofit organizations with or without 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), as well as for-profit organizations, including small businesses.
Key dates show the opportunity was posted and created on March 16, 2016, with an application deadline of May 1, 2016 (the original and current closing date are the same). The official funding opportunity title is "TechCamp on Increasing Digital Literacy" and the funding opportunity number is SLO10016GR0XX.
