Why such a project?

Several goals, reflecting the European Dimension of the project, are envisaged:

  • to promote the trans-national mobility of cultural professionals;
  • to exchange knowledge and good practices at European level;
  • to offer cultural professionals first-hand experience of the realities of intercultural exchange, in order to enhance sensibility for and appreciation of cultural differences through practical efforts and thus to equip them better for intercultural dialogue;
  • to establish lasting partnerships and cooperation between cultural centres from different European countries;
  • to develop comprehensive guidelines, based on participants’ experiences, for the benefit of future participants and to disseminate widely the conclusions and recommendations derived from the programme.
