Tandem is now inviting cultural organisations from Arab countries and from Europe to apply for the new round of the Tandem Shaml programme.
Tandem Shaml supports experimental cross-border collaborations between cultural change makers from Arab countries and Europe. 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.
Participation in the Tandem Shaml involves:
•Following an intensive one-year international exchange programme through peer to peer relations, inside a larger network
•Making time & space to reflect on function, purposes and methodologies of your projects and structures inside changing societies, both on an individual level and on the level of your organisation
•Developing a small scale learning-by-doing collaboration (note: Tandem is not a grant programme)
You can download the call for applications in English, Arabic or French.

Deadline of Application: Monday, 20 June 2016 (midnight CET).
