Celebrating America's 250th Anniversary (APS 2025)

Objectives: The grant, "Celebrating America's 250th Anniversary (APS 2025)", aims to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the United States' Declaration of Independence. Managed by the U.S. Mission to France, this initiative seeks proposals for a year-long celebration campaign focusing on America's historical and cooperative legacy with France. Eligible programs should foster French audience engagement, enhancing bilateral relations and understanding of the U.S. by showcasing American innovation, history, and the U.S.-French partnership. Proposals are expected to achieve these goals with public diplomacy outreach and experiential learning programs, emphasizing themes like American ingenuity, historical reflections, and diplomatic achievements with France over 250 years.
