European cultural mobility for artists and cultural practitioners: what are your needs? - Online survey
In April 2019 a new European pilot cultural mobility fund will be launched, supported by the European Commission through the Creative Europe programme. A consortium of European partners (led by the Goethe-Institut with its partners Institut français, Nida Art Colony of Vilnius Academy of Arts and Izolyatsia) has been contracted by the European Commission to lead the process and to manage the pilot phase of the cultural mobility fund. Before the test phase of the mobility fund is launched, the partners invite artists and culture professionals to complete a short survey to contribute to the planning. This will help the partners fine-tune the pilot cultural mobility fund to ensure it meets the needs of the sector. Deadline: 25 February 2019.
