ECHN | International Peer Creators Open Call
ECHN's new call connects CCS professionals with their peers outside Europe, anywhere in the world
International Peer Creators by European Creative Hubs Network is a peer-based exchange and training program for Creative Hub managers and Cultural and Creative Sector (CCS) professionals who aim at expanding their global outlook and strengthening their organisations through direct connections with organizations from other continents.
The program supports two selected participants every year to travel and visit a best-practice creative hub or cultural organisation outside Europe. Through hands-on exchange, mentoring, and peer learning, participants gain practical insights into collaborative models, and innovative practices, while contributing to a growing international creative network grounded in shared values and mutual learning.
