Work that:

Applications for creative and artistic approaches to achieving progress in this priority area are also strongly encouraged.

Refugees and asylum seekers
Work that:

• Creates significant new opportunities relating to employability, entrepreneurial endeavours and personal development for refugees and asylum seekers
