A free registration webinar on “Cultural mobility for sustainable cultural cooperation: working towards solutions”.
It is a side event in the lead-up to MONDIACULT 2025, taking place
18 September 2025: 12.00 pm–1:00 pm CEST.
How can we build more sustainable frameworks for cultural cooperation across borders?
What concrete solutions can address the recurring and complex visa challenges that restrict cross-border mobility?
These pressing questions — and more — will be explored in this webinar.
At a time when economic and geopolitical dynamics – including wars and conflicts – are moving towards new forms of entrenchment behind national or regional borders and towards the standardisation and commodification of culture, our organisations are committed to defending essential principles such as the promotion, visibility and recognition of intangible cultural heritage as well as the defence of the diversity of cultural expressions within and across national borders.
This side event will build on existing data, good practices and evidence-based research information gathered by the partners. In line with the final Mondiacult 2022 declaration on the need to broaden bilateral and multilateral cooperation, this event will focus on solutions to create more sustainable and fruitful frameworks for cultural cooperation, while facilitating the recurring and complex visa issues that hinder cross-border artistic mobility between developed and developing countries, as well as between developing countries.
