The Belgian Bridge | Journalismfund Europe Grants Application Platform The Belgian Bridge programme supports collaborative investigative projects led by Dutch-speaking and French-speaking journalists residing in Belgium who work together on local issues of national importance. The aim is to produce multilingual journalism that reveals how issues arise on both sides of the language border and brings communities closer together.
Strong local journalism is a cornerstone of democratic life. It keeps residents informed about their communities and holds decision-makers accountable. Research shows that citizen participation and trust decline when local reporting disappears.
Democracies also benefit when people engage beyond linguistic or geographic boundaries, reducing polarisation and strengthening civic space. This pilot programme combines these aspects by grounding journalism in local communities and connecting Belgium’s linguistic regions through joint reporting. Projects must address an issue that is rooted in the local community but also has broader relevance beyond the community.
The grant can cover working time and expenses such as logistics, travel, insurance, access to legal support, translations, access to technology and data sets, etc. Teams must include at least one Dutch-speaking journalist and one French-speaking journalist (or bilingual journalist). Applicants must be legally residing in Belgium. Total amount available per call to be distributed among all supported investigations: €50,000 per call.
