With these two reports, written with the support of Claire Rosslyn Wilson, you can discover more the advocacy and engagement actions of On the Move in 2023, through its multiannual programme co-funded by the European Union.
On the Move advocacy report 2023
On the Move supports artists and culture professionals to operate internationally while working to reimagine mobility as fairer, more responsible and sustainable. This role is increasingly important in a context, in 2023, in which conflict and national populism are proliferating.
On the Move believes that through its advocacy, articulated around participating in key events, (co-)developing policy documents, contributing to campaigns, leading and participating in working groups, developing partnerships, and supporting their members through networking opportunities and professional development, can help to work towards this overall aim.
This report provides an outline of the key advocacy activities On the Move contributed to and/or carried out in 2023 and the future directions of these advocacy initiatives when relevant. It is divided into four key areas of work:
- Working rights of artists and culture professionals;
- A fairer, more responsible and sustainable cultural mobility;
- Environmental sustainability; and
- Input into Creative Europe programmes.
It is hoped that this report provides a concise overview of the themes, directions and reach of On the Move’s advocacy in the area of international mobility in the cultural field.

Throughout 2023, On the Move participated in a total of 83 meetings; 17 meetings organised by On the Move members and a further 66 meetings organised by third party organisations (art and cultural organisations, advocacy platforms etc.) or Member States, European or international organisations. This represents an increase on the total number of 2022 events, which was mostly seen in the number of events organised by third party organisations or Member States, European or international organisations (57 in 2022 compared with 66 in 2023).
15 of these events were organised by or with On the Move’s members.
Discover more about these meetings and the related shared resources as well as the topics that were particularly tackled through these meetings in which On the Move was a speaker, facilitator, contributor and/or participant.
These two reports echo to a large extent the discussions in which OTM members have been engaged in 2023 (see the Perspective report 2023).
