AYHAM ABU SHAQRA (Ettijahat. Independent Culture – Beirut) & DORTE
RIEMENSCHNEIDER (Moviemiento e.V. – Berlin)
For the upcoming round, Tandem Shaml offers 16 cultural organisations,
8 from Europe and 8 from the Arab Region, the unique opportunity to
establish cross-border cooperation links.
This exchange and knowledge development programme allows cultural
professionals from many different disciplines to acquire skills
required for engaging in long-term partnerships. The Tandem process
provides hands-on possibilities for getting real insights into
European and Arab cultural scenes. Participants will gain practical
experiences in collaborating with rapidly changing fields in both
regions.
Tandem Shaml is based on the organisers’ belief that working together
on tangible cross-border initiatives creates fruitful cultural
dialogue among different groups and engages and exposes distant
communities to each other.
Who is Tandem Shaml for?
Tandem Shaml is designed to strengthen participants’ skills in the
field of cross-cultural collaboration and organisational management.
The programme addresses both young and experienced cultural managers
and project coordinators with good command of English that represent
independent cultural organisations that are well connected and active
in their local communities.
What does the programme look like?
Tandem Shaml starts with a Partnership Forum from 15-20 September
2015. During the forum up to 12 shortlisted European cultural managers
and their 12 Arab counterparts will identify their ideal collaboration
partner and work on a co-creative project plan. The 8 most promising
partnerships will be invited to the Kick-Off Meeting, taking place
from 26-31 January 2016. Between February and November, participants
join their Tandem partners during 10 to 14-day mutual professional
Placements. During the placements, participants will work on their
joint pilot project and gain insights in each other’s practices,
communities and networks. At the Interim Meeting in June 2016,
participants will exchange their placement experiences before
presenting the results of their one year collaboration at the Final
Meeting in November 2016.
What does Tandem Shaml offer?
· Ongoing expert advice for the development of the cross-border
collaborations and the artistic and cultural co-productions
· Travel and subsistence reimbursement for all meetings, as well
as start-up funding (max. EUR 5.000) for each collaboration project
· Becoming a part of the TANDEM network including more than 150
