Together with 70 networks and organisations from across the Culture and Creative Sectors and Industries (CCSIs) and under the guidance of Culture Action Europe, On the Move has co-signed this letter as we are all deeply concerned by the proposed budget cuts of €40 million to the Creative Europe work programme 2024.

The team at On the Move are humbled and thrilled to receive this award of Professional Excellence from WOMEX.

Alongside more than 190 cultural organisations, On the Move are calling for the Commission’s support on a US proposal that would increase the filing fees for artist visas, lengthen processing delays and limit the number of beneficiaries per petition.

The 2023 edition of the Cultural Mobility Forum is an attempt to (re)contextualise the conversation on cross-border artistic mobility and environmental sustainability, unfolding the interdependencies between privileged (Western) Europe and other territories, investigating local practical sustainable solutions (e.g. on time, resources, well-being, local networks management) and listening to a variety of voices from the Global South.

Today, On the Move together with 15 other international cultural networks, launched the SHIFT eco-certification pilot phase. The aim of this process is to co-develop a bespoke eco-certification for cultural networks, taking into account their specific needs and working methods.

Since 2022 and as part of its multiannual programme co-funded by the Europe Union, On the Move proposes a workshop for cultural mobility developers. The main objective of this workshop is to build the capacity of artists and cultural professionals to support the internationalisation of artistic and cultural practices and adopt more value-driven approaches in their own contexts.

As many of you know, 2022 has marked the 20th anniversary of On the Move. It all started back in 2002 when On the Move (before it even had a name) was born from an increasing demand for information and contacts regarding artists’ mobility and transnational exchange, and directed at the then small IETM Secretariat in Brussels.
