NOTE:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
The Tandem Programme for cultural exchange is looking for 20 civil society and cultural activists from Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, Sudan, Tunisia, and from Libyan initiatives and collectives displaced in these countries.<\/p>\n
Tandem is looking for 20 civil society and cultural activists to join the first round of Tandem 360\u00b0. Participating organisations will get a chance to connect with changemakers across the region. In the spirit of \u2018Doing-it-together\u2019, the one-year programme offers a space to experiment with multidisciplinary project ideas, ecosystem mapping and inventive approaches to create change through culture.<\/p>\n
Tandem 360\u00b0 is a new addition to the six existing Tandem programmes for cultural exchange. This open call was planned to be published right before the pandemic of the coronavirus has affected us all globally.<\/p>\n
This situation has proven more than ever that our systems need to be questioned and changed, also in the cultural sector and among civil society.<\/p>\n
Tandem has always been about fostering initiatives creating spaces to allow such questions to be asked, and where possible, worked on and transformed into change to build stronger communities locally in the regions where we work. And more than ever, we do need a 360\u00b0 perspective.<\/p>\n
By focusing on the idea of a 360\u00b0 perspective on the work and activities of cultural organisations in the selected countries, this programme allows professionals working in culture and civil society from many different disciplines to acquire skills required for ecosystem mapping \u2013 i.e. looking at not only who they are, why they do what they do, but also at the tools and resources each organisation has or needs to be able to function \u2013 and engaging in long-term partnerships.<\/p>\n
The Tandem process provides hands-on possibilities for getting real insights into diverse cultural scenes. Participants gain practical experience by collaborating within rapidly changing fields in their regions<\/p>\n
Requirements<\/p>\n
\u2013 Independent cultural NGOs, non-hierarchical and open-minded public institutions or civil society initiatives which are well rooted in a local community and have an established professional network AND are based in Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, Sudan and Tunisia. also nvite and strongly encourage displaced Libyan organisations based in these countries to apply.
\n\u2013 You should have the (organisational and financial) capacity, ambition and experience to engage in a one-year intensive international programme, as well as be ready to commit to providing sufficient work time of one employee in your organisation.<\/p>\n
