• Project focus: a co-creation trajectory to develop one or more presentations or activities about national historical stories.

• Co-creation criteria: equal partnership and shared decision-making with involved communities over content, process and outcomes.

• Eligible costs: only direct costs of the co-creation process (meeting organisation, community compensation, expert/project leader/confidential counsellor fees, volunteer allowances, fair artist fees if applicable). Presentation production costs are not eligible.
