Background
As part of its pluriannual program co-funded by the European Union, On the Move twice a year proposes Mobility Webinars to investigate collectively international artistic and cultural mobility. Together with partners, the network conceives these online sessions as knowledge building and peer-to-peer exchange, strengthening training activities and inviting guest experts to share their lived experience and views in order to help us embrace different perspectives on key transversal topics such as green mobility, inclusive and accessible opportunities, digital mobility, etc.
For this sixth webinar, On the Move and the ACP-EU CULTURE partner to explore the international cultural mobility flows from, to, and within the Caribbean region. The webinar will use the takeaways from the mapping recently carried out for the preparation of the Cultural Mobility Funding Guide focusing on the Caribbean region, to be published in September 2024, as well as the Cultural Mobility Flows Report on European Outermost Regions and Overseas Countries and Territories (2022).
Objectives
Today we would like to share more stories and information to highlight how structural limitations, lack of knowledge and awareness, generates inequalities in accessing mobility opportunities within the Caribbean region and in connection with it, particularly from Europe.
The aims of the webinar are to:
- Share the key learning of the mapping related to cultural mobility opportunities in the Caribbean region
- Identify the solutions from lived experiences and recent initiatives to contribute to strengthen mobility opportunities within the Caribbean region and connected to it
- Contribute to outline recommendations to cultural operators and decision-makers for better cross-border cultural relations, access to mobility information and professional development in relation with the Caribbean region
