MEGA presents an in-person artistic-professional residency in Castrignano de’ Greci, near Lecce, South Italy, within the settings of KORA - Contemporary Arts Center, from 6 to1 10 October 2025.
MEGA – Music Efforts for Green Activism is a capacity-building and information platform on the design of contemporary musical-ecological projects and initiatives. The project, co-funded under the Erasmus Plus programme, is designed by Sud Sonico (IT) and it is implemented in partnership with Musichelp (SE) and Ramdom (IT). Aim of the project is to disseminate and transfer knowledge to curators, project managers, artists and cultural organisations who wish to engage in climate activism through artistic production and expression.
The open call is addressed to Italian and European Union citizens between 18 and 50 years old who work with sound, as artists or professionals in the music industry.
Participation in the training courses is free of charge and subject to limited availability. For Italian participants, the organisation will not provide any financial or logistical reimbursement for the route to and from KORA. However, lunch will be provided through a catering service arranged specifically for participants.
A total of 10 European and/or Swedish participants will be admitted; however, only five of them will receive a fixed financial contribution. For the five Swedish and/or European citizens awarded the financial contribution, expenses for travel, accommodation, and lunch will be covered from 6–10 October 2025.
