Culture provides societies the forms and spaces for public reflection, value-based thinking and development. Traditionally includes such artistic fields as music, visual and performing arts, literature, film production, architecture, crafts and heritage, etc. Relying on added value as the basis of cultural products, this sector is tightly interconnected with creative industries: audio-visual production, design in its diversity, media and communications, IT and others.

1. folklorefestivals.org collects and unites festivals in 196 countries of the world, including, of course, EU countries.
2. The Federation of European Publishers offers a list of the main European book fairs and other professional events. Their calendar of events will give you plenty of reasons to head to a mobility!
3. If you represent a cultural event venue, look for events both within the Trans Europe Halles community and among its members.
ARTIST-IN-RESIDENCY PROGRAMS.

For instance, you can find lots of partially funded art-residencies at transartists.org and resartis.org. Telegram-channel of sekktor selects open-calls available for Belarusian applicants.

INDIVIDUAL INTERNSHIPS AND FELLOWSHIP PROGRAMS.
You are free to choose an organisation you are particularly interested in, according to your professional background and new carrier goals.
