Whether you're researching traditional practices, developing new work with international partners, or participating in residencies, this programme removes barriers to creative mobility.
What the project supports: Research trips that inform new artistic work, collaborative projects with artists from other countries, residencies at cultural institutions, participation in festivals and cultural events, and professional development opportunities. Your mobility must clearly connect to your artistic development and demonstrate genuine partnerships in your destination country.
