Nordic-Baltic Mobility Programme for Culture is open for applications in two sub-programmes for professional practitioners of art and culture.
1. Individual mobility
This mobility funding gives individual applicants access to contacts, expertise and knowledge from different parts of the Nordic and Baltic region. Funding can also be used to present art and culture productions and to raise interest in Nordic and Baltic art and culture.
Deadline for applications: 31.01.2025.
Who is eligible to apply?
Funding is available for professional artists and cultural practitioners (such as curators, producers, literary translators, cultural editors or researchers) in all forms of art and culture. “Professional” means that there is documented experience of work in the field of art and culture and/or training in art or culture.
Mobility funding can only be granted to individuals. You cannot apply for funding for another person. If you apply as part of a group traveling together within the framework of the same project, all group members must submit individual applications.
For example, the purpose of the trip can be:
- a collaboration with colleagues in another Nordic and/or Baltic country,
- a guest play,
- an exhibition,
- participation in a conference, meeting or workshop,
- research.
How are applications assessed?
The assessment is made on the basis of how well the above criteria are met and how well the application conveys opportunities for co-operation, quality and content (quality of the applicant’s artistry or previous work), novelty, innovation, the Nordic-Baltic dimension, and the traveller’s motivation for the trip, as well as the purpose and how the applicant intends to achieve their goals.
