Trans Europe Halles | Duct Tape and Dreams Programme

For the young, daring and driven, apply to Trans Europe Halles' free 9 month mentoring programme we call “Duct tape and Dreams”.

Running a space for art and culture is never easy but can be especially challenging in the first years. Ideas and passion often clash against tough reality and bureaucratic hustle. All we wish for is some guidance, a roadmap on how to navigate those exciting and challenging years and secure a more sustainable future for our centres!

Duct Tape and Dreams is a hands-on mentoring and capacity building programme for emerging artistic collectives. It brings young and committed creatives on a nine-month developmental journey, providing them with necessary tools and expertise to build a sustainable future in the independent cultural sector.

All participants will get a tailored expert coaching throughout the whole programme and access to our capacity building activities, an opportunity to peer learn and attend TEH conference in Leipzig with 350+ creatives and a chance to win a money prize through our newly initiated award: The Philippe Grombeer Award of 5.000 euro.

• A tailored coaching from a peer organisation who has gone through the same process in the past and has similar interest.
