STEP Beyond Travel Grant funds emerging artists and cultural workers to explore and to exchange views, skills and inspiration. http://www.eurocult.org/grants/step-beyond-travel-grants
STEP Beyond Travel grants fund up-and-coming artists and cultural workers - with a priority to individuals up to 35 years and/or in the first 10 years of their career - to travel between EU and countries bordering the EU. Since 2003, STEP - which stands for Supporting Travel for European Partnerships - Beyond Travel Grants have supported the movement of hundreds of people across European borders by providing between 250 and 700. Funding mobility and exchange links closely to ECFs overall objectives and specifically to our European Neighbourhood programme, which currently works with organisations in Belarus, Moldova, Ukraine and Turkey. Also high on our agenda is support for people and projects in the Arab-Mediterranean regions. We especially welcome applications for STEP Beyond Travel Grants from these regions. STEP Beyond Travel Grants grants are supported by De BankGiroLoterij and De Lotto received through Prins Bernhard Cultuurfonds. STEP Beyond Travel Grants from/to the countries of South Caucasus (Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia) and Turkey are jointly funded with the Open Society Foundation (OSF). Supported by STEP Beyond Travel Grants The Armenian cultural managers Armine Avetisyan and Mirzoyan Ashot worked with leading institutions across Turkey to set up Pathways to Cultural Spaces for sustainable cultural programming in Eastern Anatolia, Western Georgia and North Armenia. Pathways to Cultural Spaces, © Armine Avetisyan As an example of their many encounters, Avetiyan described a breakfast in Kamer with the famous Turkish actor Hasan Demircan: He was in Kars for a film shooting. With Hasanbey we shared our plans in collaborative film projects and discussed the possibilities for long-term partnership.
