As part of our “Slovak-Norwegian Cultural Matching” project, we have prepared a final webinar Matching Culture with Funding for future Slovak-Norwegian projects.
At the online event, which will take place on June 22, 2022, from 11:00, together with Laurie Vestøl from Urban Space Lab, we will recap our previous webinars and discuss the possibilities of financing such cooperation. In addition, you will learn:
- how new funding and EEA grants can help cultural businesses and artists in both countries to establish projects together;
- Haidi Al-Juboori from Vestfold Telemark County Council will talk about international funding opportunities and initiatives for stakeholders and municipalities;
- we will introduce art & public space in Notodden;
- we will introduce residency programs in Košice which can open possibilities for travel and exchange.
The whole event will be graphically recorded live by Norwegian illustrator and comic book artist Tor Erling Naas.
You can watch the event on our YouTube channel in English or in Slovak translation.
You can look forward to guests from Slovakia and Norway:
