On the Move Newsletter – September 2014
Dear newsletter readers,
On the Move is in a transitory phase of re-thinking and re-structuring as you may have read in our last newsletter, facebook and/or twitter pages. This is due to the fact that we did not get the EU funding through the Creative Europe Programme (Networks’ funding line), which has put OTM in a fragile financial situation.
In time of budget constraints for arts, culture and cultural mobility in particular, we feel that a free, accurate and regular access to cultural mobility opportunities and funding is more than ever needed in Europe and beyond. This is why, thanks to a temporary voluntary contribution of the previous staff, we will keep sending a short version of the monthly newsletter at least till January 2015. We try as well to regularly update theOTM website, facebookand twitter pages.
Through OTM member-organisations, partners, organisations and individuals who strongly believe in On the Move’s mission, we are also defining a new scenario of development for OTM. We hope to share more positive news by the end of this year!
Feel free to share your messages and potential ideas for collaborations and support on OTM facebook timeline or to send them to mobility(at)on-the-move.org. Together we can imagine new solutions for the long-term development of On the Move!
A new challenge ahead for On the Move
From September 1st, 2014 On the Move is facing a period of re-thinking and restructuring: there is no permanent staff working for OTM until further notice, and only basic activities are carried out on a voluntary basis. Read more about why and what happens next…
