Meeting Point

MEETING POINT is a project co-funded by the Creative Europe Programme of the European Union. The project is a 2-year residency exchange program designed for musicians, performing artists, dancers and visual artists. It aims to empower artists through masterclasses, residencies, and collaborative performances, addressing current issues, like the war in Ukraine, and promoting social inclusion. The project outlines management strategies, roles of partners, target audiences, and methodologies for cost-effectiveness, quality, risk management, and sustainability, emphasising environmental sustainability and diversity.

The idea for MEETING POINT arises from the urgent need to address the impact of crises - such as wars, economic decline, political changes, and natural disasters - on the cultural sector. The programme seeks to empower artists from the aforementioned countries by providing a platform for artistic exchange, learning, and collaboration. The aim is not just to give voice and power to those directly impacted by a crisis, but also to promote communication, reflection, and social inclusion through the arts.

The goals of MEETING POINT include empowering the next generation of performing artists, addressing critical social issues, and promoting social inclusion and diversity. The project hopes to open up for new perspectives to increase audience engagement and ensure that the cultural sector strives for diversity and environmental sustainability.
