Open Call: Culture for Local Development Applications
The Adam Mickiewicz Institute, acting under its flagship brand Culture.pl, and the European Solidarity Centre are pleased to invite young cultural managers from Armenia, Belarus, Georgia and Ukraine to participate in the second edition of the international project Culture for Local Development.
The project is addressed to activists, who:
- focus on local communities and see culture as a tool for introducing social change,
- want to add an international dimension to their work,
- want to gain new skills to strengthen their local creative activities.
In March 2017, the first stage of the project will take place in Kyiv, Yerevan and Minsk. Selected candidates will take part in a series of intensive workshops led by an experienced mentor. The workshops will focus on deepening their knowledge of socio-cultural project management and broadening their ability to use international cooperation in developing local programmes.
The authors of the most promising project proposals will be invited to take part in the second stage of the project – the Summer School. The Summer School will take place in Poland (Lublin and Gdańsk) from 29 July to 7 August 2017. The programme comprises workshops as well as study visits to Polish cultural and civic institutions. These activities will allow participants to develop project proposals created during the first stage. The young cultural managers will also have the opportunity to begin cooperation with their colleagues from Armenia, Belarus, Georgia, Ukraine and Poland. The participants of the Summer School may receive financial support from the organisers to implement their projects.
The programme will be conducted in English.
Dates of the first stage of workshops:
- Ukraine (for participants from Ukraine): 3–5 March 2017
- Armenia (for participants from Armenia and Georgia): 10–12 March 2017
- Belarus (for participants from Belarus): 17–19 March 2017
