Cultural mobility in Europe and internationally: come with your question(s)!
The pandemic has been impacting cultural mobility flows in Europe and internationally and has been intensifying or deepening conversations and forms of actions related to more sustainable, fairer and ethical forms of mobility. How do these reflections and potential new formats of cultural mobility impact your own project or organisation? Which questions would you like to raise in order to continue to think on a European and international scale?
This interactive session will allow you to ask your questions related to a cultural mobility project in relation with its funding / administrative dimension and/or its greener and more sustainable dimension.
