Mobility scheme for artists and/or cultural professionals

Date de clôture : 27 sept. 2019  
APPEL À PROJET CLÔTURÉ

International mobility of people, as well as the free flow of ideas, is central to the European Union project. Recent studies1 and literature illustrate the importance and impact of mobility for the professional development of artists and/or cultural professionals; to get inspiration, to boost creativity, to promote ideas and circulation of artistic works, to develop and reach new markets, to get visibility and recognition, and even to increase collaborations and job opportunities.

Artistic and cultural mobility has increasing received policy attention at European Union (hereinafter: EU) and national levels. The European Union's role in the culture area is defined in Article 167 of the Treaty of the Functioning of the EU. Mobility has always been a policy priority under the European Agenda for Culture2 and a crucial component of the Creative Europe programme. The new Work plan for Culture (2019-2022)3 considers mobility as a key factor in improving social cohesion and well-being in European societies and a strong contributor to international cultural relations. Recently, Culture ministers from several Member States have explicitly called upon the European Commission to investigate the possibility of setting up a specific mobility action for artists and culture professionals4.

Some opportunities for cross-border mobility of artists and/or cultural professionals already exist with the support of public institutions, private foundations and/or NGOs, at local, regional, national, European and international level. At national level, however, a recent survey from On the Move5, reports that only five countries, all in northern Europe, provide support to 50% of all mobility for artists in the EU6. On the other hand, in six countries7, mainly in southern Europe, there is a huge deficit for such opportunities. At EU level, several EU programmes and funding instruments offer various opportunities for cross-border mobility activities that may include the cultural and creative sectors.

Erasmus+ primarily supports transnational mobility for education, learning and training. Erasmus for Young Entrepreneurs supports the mobility of young creative entrepreneurs and the European Solidarity Corps offers individual mobility opportunities for employees, trainees, apprentices and volunteers to be engaged in solidarity-related activities in a wide range of sectors, including culture.

The Creative Europe programme supports the mobility of artists and/or cultural professionals in a more targeted way, but only in the context of cooperation projects and platforms.

Evidence from the cultural sectors however, indicates shortcomings in this already existing support for mobility at EU level. Most important is the lack of result-oriented opportunities, as well as the fact that currently none of the above Programmes specifically targets the mobility of artists and/or cultural professionals per se. In addition to this, the existing fragmentation between sectors, countries, generations, information, opportunities and support, has a negative impact on the artists' and cultural professionals' careers. Limited access and obstacles to international mobility are hampering the potential of the creative sector to contribute to the EU's social, economic and integration ambitions, and to the building of a strong internal market and of a European society rooted in shared values and common cultural heritage.

Investing in a dedicated and flexible mobility scheme at EU level targeting artists' and culture professionals' capacity to co-create and cooperate beyond the traditional transnational experience could therefore help address the shortcomings in existing mobility support schemes and unleash the potential of the culture and creative sector to contribute to the EU's ambitions and values. A dedicated EU mobility scheme for artists and cultural professionals could for instance focus on co-creating or collaborating in a sector; drawing new audience; inter-sectoral experimentation; cooperation between more established older artists and less established, younger ones; reducing restrictions based on nationality and educational qualifications, adjusting geographical imbalances, lack of reliable information, etc.

This Call for Proposals (hereinafter also “the Call”) is the second initiative taken by the European Commission in organising mobility for artist, which attempts to address these shortcomings in line with section 5.03 of the 2019 Annual Work Programme for the implementation of the Creative Europe Programme8.

The first initiative has resulted in the pilot scheme i-Portunus9, which is currently implemented, following a Call for Tenders10 by a consortium tasked to develop a portal to receive and manage applications for EU support for the mobility of artists and cultural professionals. More specifically, this consortium is running test trials and organising a number of EU funded mobilities limited to the performing and visual arts sectors. The i- Portunus portal will be the property of the European Commission and will be available to the beneficiaries of this Call for the organisation and implementation of their actions. In addition to this, the beneficiaries selected under this Call will have access to the recommendations, lessons learnt and good practices on how to best organise mobility for artists and culture professionals, which will be delivered by the above mentioned i- Portunus consortium to the European Commission (namely, the Directorate-General for Education, Youth, Sport and Culture – DG EAC) by the end of February 2020.

Taking into account the i-Portunus’ results and recommendations and using the i- Portunus’ electronic portal and other tools, the beneficiaries of this Call will develop and implement their own short-term individual mobility actions through the provision of financial support to artists and/or cultural professionals, within the meaning of and in compliance with Article 204 of the EU Financial Regulation11. Such financial support may be provided under one of the two following schemes, depending on whether the selection of the individual artists and culture professionals is carried out directly by the beneficiary or delegated to a host organisation.

1. a)  One level scheme, in which the financial support is provided directly by the beneficiary to individual artists and cultural professionals

2. b)  Two levels scheme, in which the beneficiary provides financial support to a selected host institution which will act as an intermediary and redistribute such funds to individual artists and cultural professionals

In both schemes, the individuals and host organisations receiving financial support will be third parties to the legal relationship established between the Contracting Authority and the beneficiary/ies. For more details, see section 11.7.(d) of this Call.

The results of the actions supported under this Call, along with those from the i-Portunus project, will be taken into account for the preparation and launch of a dedicated new Action for the mobility of artists and/or cultural professionals under the next Creative Europe programme (2021-2027).

 

2. OBJECTIVES AND EXPECTED RESULTS

General and specific objectives

This Call aims at achieving 2 main general objectives:

• -  To test a viable and efficient mobility scheme for artists and cultural professionals that would act in complementarity of already existing mobility schemes available at local, regional and/or national levels.

• -  To formulate policy recommendations to the European Commission, the European Parliament and Member States towards the full implementation of such a scheme in the next generation of EU programmes.

The proposals should contribute to the aforementioned general objectives by covering the following 3 specific objectives:

Specific objective 1 – Communication and dissemination of the funding opportunities for the mobility of artists and/or cultural professionals

Selected projects should bring added value to the improvement of the communication on all aspects of a mobility scheme to be piloted in order to assure a high number of applications in as many creative and cultural sectors as possible (with the exception of the audio-visual sector) and assure the quality of activities and mobility opportunities in hosting organisations. In this respect, each beneficiary should at least:

1. Implement a timely and well-managed communication and information strategy and a sound methodology for the dissemination of information and the valorisation of results; E.g. promotional material, photos and video recording of testimonials, statistics on the use of the communication channels, media campaigns, etc.

2. Provide a report on feedback from users about the administrative procedures (e.g portal, electronic application forms), and, the management of scheme, including difficulties, obstacles and recommendations for improvements.

Expected results:

• information on the communication activities to assure promotion of the scheme and outreach to stakeholders.

• a regular and timely communication and information to interested parties, including sending relevant information and responding to queries from interested parties on the electronic portal;

• the electronic portal updated with selection results, testimonials and other relevant information before, during and after the selection and throughout the duration of the project;

• Collection of feedback about the functioning of the portal, application forms and procedures followed by users and interested parties;

• Adjusted application and selection process in order to make improvements and solve obstacles and difficulties encountered during the first round, if multiple rounds are planned;

• short videos or other visual testimonials of successful participants, with their works, hosts, collaborators, audiences etc. during and/or after the mobility.

• Promotion of i-Portunus features and success stories via all types of media, including social media

Specific objective 2 - Implementation of funding opportunities for the mobility of artists and/or cultural professionals

Selected project should pave the way for an efficient implementation and administration of a short-term mobility scheme, including methodologies for proposing mobility opportunities and host organisations, reception, evaluation and selection of applicants, as well as managing the funding and reporting.

The selected proposals under this Call shall ensure a strategically balanced geographical coverage in terms of financial support provided to selected applicants, taking into account the results of the recent survey conducted under the aforementioned i-Portunus pilot scheme regarding current mobility opportunities in the EU Member States.

The selected proposals under this Call shall assist artists and cultural professionals in finding hosting institutions and organisations that would collaborate with them.

More specifically, each beneficiary should at least:

1. Develop and implement procedures and methodology(ies) for the funding mobility scheme(s) using the name and logo of i-Portunus.

2. Implement and administrate the full cycle of the selection process, from the management of the applications, to the management of the finances and reporting.

3. Collect data on the scheme including the mobility experience and notably the impact

   on the individual’s professional development.

Expected results:

• Organisation and administration of individual and/or group mobility support with an single (or cumulative) duration a minimum of 7 days up to a maximum of 60 days per individual;

• Setting the conditions for funding the selected applicants, monitor their mobility activities and provide an activity report including statistical data on the individual mobility (e.g. information on participants, economic background, emerging or established artists or cultural professionals, the objectives of the mobility, the type of sub-sector, gender, duration, home and host country, outcomes, etc.);

• Development and implementation of the procedures for the administration of the mobilities.

• Test of different ways of funding the mobilities; directly to individual artists, to groups of artists where relevant, and possibly even to institutions or organisations which will host the artists or cultural professionals.

• Experimentation of the level of funding per mobility in view of duration, cost of living in host location, size of group (set limit), etc.

• fair and transparent selection procedures for funding short-term mobilities ensuring sectoral diversity (namely the various creative sectors covered by the Creative Europe Programme, with the exception of the audio-visual sector (i.e. film, television, video games and multimedia)12);

• Award and management of the funding for international mobilities striving to ensure a diversity of participants, especially artists and cultural professionals with fewer opportunities (emerging artists) and those from the under-represented countries identified in the report from the Operational study Mobility Scheme for Artists and Culture Professionals in Creative Europe countries by “On the Move” organisation;

• close monitoring and follow-up of the mobility sub-grants;

• Documentation and update of the electronic portal of i-Portunus with relevant

  information, including application forms and other administrative documents as well as the selection results;

• support to the interested parties and stakeholders before, during and after the selection period;

• Development of a light reporting system where the benefits, synergy, lessons learnt, opportunities found, works created and collaborations started, as well as obstacles and difficulties, can be communicated by the participants.

Specific Objective 3 – Analysis and Recommendations on the funding opportunities for the mobility of artists and/or cultural professionals

Building on the analysis of the recommendations from the on-going project i-Portunus and on that experience, the actions of the new proposals should contribute to providing recommendations to the European Commission for a new mobility action in the future Creative Europe programme.

More specifically, each beneficiary should at least:

1. Analyse the results achieved under i-Portunus (all phases) as well as feedback from users and other stakeholders

2. Provide recommendations of a successful mobility funding scheme to the European Commission.

Expected results:

Analysis of the i-Portunus' experience and subsequent mobility actions organised during the life of this project,
Evaluation of the success, impact and appropriateness of funding individuals, groups and also funding mobilities via host institutions;

Analysis of the short-term impact of the mobility opportunities on the individuals’ development (e.g. interviews/reports from participants and host organisations) Collection of the results of the mobility actions, consolidation of the methodology, tools, procedures, etc. in order to set up the best conditions for the implementation and administration of a future mobility scheme.
