International Cultural Mobility Grants. A Practical Case Study
On 19 September at 19:00, IZOLYATSIA is organising an online conversation International Cultural Mobility Grants. A Practical Case Study providing a deeper understanding of what cultural mobility is and what opportunities it provides to the cultural and artistic community.
The conversation will be preceded with a practical workshop on how to apply for an international cultural mobility grant from Culture Moves Europe, which will be held online by Malý Berlín on 2 October 2024.

Programme of the event:
How does cultural mobility allows to attend a professional conference, take part in an internship, develop a project idea or write an application for Creative Europe together with foreign partners offline? Are cultural mobility experiences still relevant in the current context of Ukraine? How to find and work properly with foreign partners? Where to get funding for a professional trip? How to evaluate the impact of cultural mobility experience?
The discussion will be based on the case of Valeriia Buradzhyieva's professional travel. Valeriia has completed two mobility programmes. Last year, with the support of EU4Culture, Valeriia undertook an internship at Teatro Sardegna in Cagliari, Sardinia. During her internship, the grantee had the opportunity to explore how the theatre team works during the preparation of the festival. The second trip took place under the Culture Moves Europe programme to the Bunker Institute in Ljubljana, which Valeria had the opportunity to visit as a performance researcher. During the Mladi Levi festival, she recorded interviews with theatre companies and helped with organisational issues.
Who is this event for:
- Professionals in the field of culture, art and creative industries, as well as professionals who have the opportunity to carry out Ukrainian cultural diplomacy abroad in times of war
- young artists and cultural managers who want to develop their careers
- anyone interested in international cooperation and cultural exchanges
