[gheorghe]

A mobility programme through work placements for young and up-coming artists, art managers and cultural operators in Europe



The Central European Foundation (Bratislava), KulturKontakt (Austria) and The Felix Meritis Foundation (Amsterdam) are proud to present a 
new call for applications for work placements in 2009.

 

Thanks to a large network of cultural organisations throughout Europe 
and beyond, Gulliver Connect offers hands-on work experience. It makes  a unique contribution by providing an extensive range of host 
organisations to match the individual talents of young people. And it 
enables the host organisations to find valuable working partners in future.

The work placements will lead to new professional skills and establish  new forms of international co-operation. Both the visitor and the host  organisation benefit from exposure to each other’s working practices.  They share information, experiences and ideas, and establish  far-reaching professional contacts.

 

By creating a dynamic network, Gulliver Connect adds a new dimension
to the social, artistic and cultural development of Europe and beyond
– a stepping stone for future co-operation in the arts.
