Partner search under Creative Europe – Culture sub-programme

 

Akershus County Council, in Norway, is looking for partners in order to submit a project proposal under the Creative Europe – Culture sub-programme within the call for “EACEA 32/2017: Support for European cooperation projects 2018”, category 1 “Small Scale Cooperation Projects 2018” -  https://eacea.ec.europa.eu/sites/eacea-site/files/1._call_notice_eacea_32_2017-culture-ce-2018_en.pdf

 

The project aims to show a European audience how trading and cultural interaction between the Germans, the Dutch and the Norwegians (Son in Eastern Norway) from 1500-1750 have affected the countries involved, and moulded their cultural heritage today, both material and immaterial. The main objectives are to:

·         Create awareness and reflection about how cultural interaction due to early trading have affected the cultural identity of the Norwegian, Dutch and German people today.

·         Capacity building through exchange of knowledge with professionals in the cultural heritage sector in the Netherlands and Germany, to learn about their collections, and see how they communicate their findings and material to the general public (such as exhibitions, websites, mobile applications etc).  

 

The project proposed aims at reinforcing a sense of belonging to a common European space, by showcasing how cooperation and trade routes have affected cultural identity in three countries, and beyond. It will challenge the concept ”Typical Norwegian –or Typical Dutch” etc., in keeping with the priorities of The European Year for Cultural Heritage 2018.

A key-element in the project will be to communicate the results/findings to the general public. Two possible angles are suggested:

1.     Physical – for example an exhibition that can be presented to the public in the three countries.

2.     Digital – for example a website or a mobile application. 

 

The partners will work together to develop innovative and efficient methods for reaching and engaging audiences.

 

The application should request an EU grant of no more than EUR 200.000 representing maximum 60% of the total eligible budget.

 

Partners involved: Akershus County Council as lead is the only partner for the moment. More information on the partner: http://www.akershus.no
