Focus 2024: Cultural mobility beyond internationalization
The 2024 Cultural Mobility Forum aims to imagine new horizons for professional development program with an international dimension.
By ‘professional development program’, we mean a set of activities such as individual or collective training courses, masterclasses, coaching and mentoring sessions, or creative apprenticeship opportunities that enable artists and culture professionals to enhance their practice and invest in skills that will help them build a sustainable professional pathway.
The Cultural Mobility Forum is connected to data analysis and the articles included in the Cultural Mobility Yearbook 2024.
