Dear newsletter readers,
We believe that arts and culture have no borders – and that’s why On the Move is getting more and more international in its membership and activities!
Three new organisations active internationally have joined our network: IG Kultur – Austria, Teater Unionen-ITI Sweden and RES ARTIS, as well as two individuals: Mary Ann DeVlieg and Nina Obuljen. We welcome them on board! To know how our membership looks like now, have a look at the full list of members on our website and see them on Google maps. They can be your entry point to the cultural scene and mobility opportunities in several countries!
Our activities are also becoming more and more international. Earlier this year On the Move joined forces with the Czech Arts and Theatre Institute and Kelola Foundation (Indonesia) to organise the first ever meeting of cultural mobility funders from Asia and Europe, with the precious support of the Creative Encounters programme of ASEF – Asia-Europe Foundation and Arts Network Asia. As a result, over 35 organisations and institutions from Asia and Europe gathered in Prague, Czech Republic in early June to discuss about concrete experiences and possible developments of funding the mobility of artists and cultural professionals. A report and the list of contacts are available on our website – have a look at the pictures as well!
Finally, we take this opportunity to thank all of you who replied to the online consultation on short-stay Schengen visas launched by the European Commission. The deadline was June 17th and we’re looking forward to the public report – we’ll keep you posted about the results as soon as these will be available.
And now, our monthly selection of mobility opportunities – follow us on Facebook for daily updates!
