Cultural dialogue is at the core of CSN Lab's activities, as we believe that it is fundamental to the development of a vibrant cultural ecosystem and the establishment of a democratic cultural environment.
With the aim of promoting cultural dialogue, CSN Lab conducted 2 workshops this month, with a particular focus on enhancing the successful participation of Armenian artists and cultural practitioners in the "Culture Moves Europe" mobility programme.
The CSN Lab team selected 50 participants from over 160 applications received through the open call and conducted informational meetings and intensive workshops focused on building attendees' capacity to apply for and perform projects within mobility programmes. During the informational sessions, the workshop mentors provided a comprehensive overview of the “Culture Moves Europe” project, detailing its structure, main goals, areas of activity, application procedure, and the schedule for the project implementation and reporting. Besides, members of the CSN Lab shared their personal experiences with mobility programmes, elaborating on the features of such projects and providing useful tips.
To assist with the application and design of projects potentially eligible for mobility programmes, practical activities were also included in the workshops. At this stage, participants had the opportunity to refine their applications with the advice and support of the CSN Lab team members, assess their strengths and weaknesses, come up with ideas for their own projects, as well as acquire skills for finding international partners to foster connections and collaborate with them. Our esteemed colleagues from the Armenian office of Creative Europe also joined the workshop and generously shared their knowledge and advice.
To take advantage of this opportunity for artistic and cultural exchange, we encourage you to apply for the 3rd phase of the "Culture Moves Europe" mobility programme, which will be open till the 30th of November. The CSN Lab will continue to organise various programmes that promote the mobility of artists and cultural figures, foster international co-creation, and enhance cultural dialogue.
