Fair Play – Micro Grants for Dundee Month of Design

These grants are part of a project called Fair Play that UNESCO City of Design Dundee are taking part in alongside other Design Cities from around the world. Fair Play is a pilot initiative being delivered by the UNESCO Creative Cities of Design to deliver collective impact outcomes across multiple cities aimed at reducing inequalities at the local level (supporting SDG 10 Reduced Inequalities).

Fair Play is an open source initiative, with its origins based on the Equaliser Project delivered by the UNESCO Creative Cities Network Cities of Music in 2019 (addressing SDG 5 Gender Equality).The project champions core values such as equitable relationships, respect for diversity, ageing, openness, equality, empowerment (redirected power), social and economic inclusion and ageing. As a global network, each participating city will share the design process, methodologies, learnings and outcomes with other cities.
