i-Portunus second pilot for mobility in cultural sphere 2020-22 has started!

i-Portunus continues to support the mobility of artists, creators and cultural professionals among all countries participating in the Creative Europe programme. A second pilot project was selected and funded by the Creative Europe program of the European Union, and the Consortium, headed by Goethe-Institut with Institut Français and Izolyatsia. This second phase will run from end of 2020 to spring of 2022.

More than ever i-Portunus mobility is needed to answer the existing and new needs of the creative sectors by offering a demand – driven mobility scheme that allows direct application through a straightforward and flexible process.

i-Portunus’ main focus is to connect artists and to support international collaborations. This will be done via physical mobility but if necessary by virtual or blended mobility variations.

i-Portunus will launch three open calls for applications, targeting artists, creators and cultural professionals in music, literary translation, architecture and cultural heritage in December 2020/ January 2021 and February 2021.

Every call for applications will be open for two months. Every application will be evaluated by two evaluators. Notification of results follows one month after the deadline of the call and mobilities will be possible until December 2021.

i-Portunus dedicates a budget of 500.000 EUR with a fixed amount for transportation and per diem, depending on the destination country.

We have decided to publish the output of the talks during the first semester of 2020. For now, we didn’t communicate about the project because we are waiting to define the book target, publishing house, and design.

The experience of sharing the time with other people was very important and I was lucky to be supported by a very professional and kind staff, technicians and peer artists. I also remembered that best things happen when sharing things with others.
