Connecting with a European cultural network can open doors to new opportunities, co-creation, learning, information sharing, new ideas and much more. It can lead to partnerships and projects with like-minded organisations from across Europe and enable you to apply for EU funding programmes including Creative Europe. There is a wide range of European cultural networks across many different activities and practices, from informal alliances of culture professionals to formalised membership bodies.
As we approach Galway's designated year as European Capital of Culture 2020, this free seminar presents some of these networks. We will explore how they contribute to the work of culture organisations and individuals. The session will also look at cultural mobility and the benefits and challenges of undertaking mobility opportunities and collaborations with partners in other countries.
This seminar would be ideal for professionals from arts and culture organisations as well as individual artists and practitioners who are interested in working and connecting with peers across Europe.
For a better insight into what European networking and collaborations could bring, those interested can sign up here to hear from a range of speakers as they share their experiences. You can join Creative Europe afterwards to mingle and chat over a glass of wine at their networking reception!
