Atklāts konkurss | Ziemeļeiropas mobilitātes iespēju (NEMO) programma no Ziemeļvalstu Kultūras fonda
What is NEMO? – Aims of the Open Call
As near neighbours, the Nordic countries, the UK and Ireland constitute a shared international space with fertile ground for creative collaborations.
However, several developments in recent years, including the pandemic, growing economic uncertainty, and the UK’s exit from the European Union, have contributed to making international working across the region more difficult. The call therefore builds on a reciprocal wish to broaden the possibilities for practitioners across the Northern European cultural scene.
The shared aims of this programme are to:
Foster international collaboration.
Develop artistic networks across the region.
Encourage more artists and arts practitioners to work confidently with international partners.
Cik daudz ir pieejams?
Kas tas ir?
The focus of the call is on individual artists and arts practitioners who are in the early stages of their artistic careers, reflecting our shared experience that this group has a particular need for additional support and opportunity in the current climate.
Artists and arts practitioners based in the Nordic countries (Denmark, the Faroe Islands, Finland, Greenland, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, and the Åland Islands), as well as those in the UK (England, Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales) and Ireland, are eligible to apply.
Artists and arts practitioners in the Nordic countries can apply to develop a partnership or collaboration (e.g. with individuals, groups, or organisations) in one of the five nations comprising the UK and Ireland – and vice versa. All parties involved in the application must have clearly agreed on the scope of the partnership before the application is submitted.
We want to ensure that opportunities are open to all. We particularly welcome applications that reflect the full diversity of identities and communities across all partner countries.
