Culture Moves Europe promotes cultural and artistic mobility by supporting individual mobility and residency projects across all Creative Europe countries.

It supports artists and cultural professionals by giving them funds to travel and carry out a project in another Creative Europe country.

The scheme consists of two call types: The Call for Individual Mobility, for artists and cultural professionals (individuals or groups of individuals), and the Call for Residency Hosts, for legal entities who want to host residencies.

If you are an artist or cultural professional living in one of the Creative Europe countries, you can apply under the Call for Individual Mobility to travel, by yourself or as part of a group, to a different Creative Europe country to implement a project with an international partner.

Culture Moves Europe aims for gender, geographical, regional and sectoral balance, and encourages sustainability and inclusion.

*This project is funded by the Creative Europe programme of the European Union and implemented by the Goethe-Institut.
