The Spring 2024 edition of “Funding the Arts” aims to provide cultural organisations with the expertise, strategies, and insights necessary to craft a compelling Erasmus+ proposal.
“Funding the Arts gave me the tools and courage to submit an application together with two other RESEO members. Our proposal was successful and we were awarded a grant for a small scale partnership on our first try despite intense competition. I strongly recommend this training to any organisation with an interest in international cooperation.”
Birgitte Holt Nielsen, Producer, Figaros (Denmark)
ABOUT THE ERASMUS+ PROGRAMME
While Erasmus+ is traditionally associated with the formal education sector, the programme offers many opportunities for international mobility and cooperation for artists and arts institutions involved in education, outreach and professional development.
