TANDEM: Turkey/EU Cultural Managers Exchange

TANDEM is a two-year cultural exchange programme which aims at establishing long-term partnerships between cultural organisations in Turkey and their counterparts in EU countries.
Similar to the first round of TANDEM  in 2011-12 the second installment of the programme will bring selected cultural managers / project coordinators from Turkey and the EU together in an intense international collaboration process, in which they realise a shared interdisciplinary project, linked to their cultural expertise.
15 cultural managers/project coordinators from Turkey and 15 from EU countries will collaborate in pairs to form 15 trans-national ‘Tandems’. Each participant will undertake a placement at their partner’s organisation, involving the planning and implementation of a shared cultural project or co-production.
The programme includes –
  • Work placements at the partner organisations (in Turkey and the EU)
  • Shared learning sessions moderated by experienced trainers
  • Small grants of up to EUR 5,500 for creative projects
  • Reimbursement for travel and living expenses relating to participants’ visits
TANDEM is an initiative of the European Cultural Foundation (Amsterdam), MitOst (Berlin), Anadolu Kültür (Istanbul), and supported by Stiftung Mercator (Essen).

Who?

The programme addresses cultural managers and project co-ordinators of independent cultural NGOs at the beginning of their career, but also experienced cultural professionals.

In general, applicants should be well connected to their local communities and should have a good command of English.
