In 2016, the members of the Club decided to widen the area of action and applicants from outside of the town of Trenčín, from municipalities of Trenčín, Ilava, Bánovce nad Bebravou, were allowed to join in. This year, the evaluation meeting took place in the summer for the first time. With as much as 18 applications having been delivered before the closure, the question is what played a bigger role? The change in the schedule, or the widening of the area?
For the presentation in front of the members of the Club, 10 applicants were invited whose projects fared the best in the first evaluation round. From among these projects, the following seven were successful and received financial support in the total amount of 3 151 €:
Draw a Story – Audio CD of Matej Zámečník, who decided to create a CD for pre-school kids on the motives of his book
Christmas Cymbalo Concert of the Trenčín Center for Enlightenment for young talents
