European Spaces of Culture: 11 new project ideas shortlisted
A jury of six experts has shortlisted 11 project ideas for European Spaces of Culture to be developed into concrete projects for 2023. Following a call for ideas, the Preparatory Action European Spaces for Culture has selected these outstanding project ideas, including a project idea from Bosnia and Herzegovina, to encourage new forms of collaboration in cultural relations.
Other shortlisted project ideas come from countries worldwide, including Angola, Bangladesh, China, Colombia, Palestine, and Turkmenistan. The selected project teams have now been invited to further develop their ideas into concrete proposals.
In September, representatives of the project teams will meet in an online Spaces Lab to discuss the process, their partnerships and evaluation models. The final selection of projects will be done before the end of the year and the projects are expected to be implemented between January and October 2023.
The European Spaces of Culture Preparatory Action (2019-2023) is testing innovative collaboration models in cultural relations between European and local partner organisations in countries outside the EU. The action and its pilot projects aim to seek new ways of collaboration in cultural relations, reflecting the EU strategic approach to international cultural relations. Seventeen pilot projects worldwide have already been implemented or are in the process of implementation.
