Culture Moves Europe

With a budget of €21 million in the first project phase (2022 to 2025), Culture Moves Europe is the largest European mobility scheme for the cultural sector to date. It is funded by the Creative Europe programme of the European Union and implemented by Goethe-Institut

Culture Moves Europe will continue and is expected to launch in mid-2025. More information will be published on the website of the European Commission in 2025.

Culture Moves Europe is composed of two action lines:

Individual Mobility Action

The Individual Mobility Action is directed at artists and cultural professionals who are legal residents of Creative Europe countries, providing them with financial support to:

• Carry out a project with an international partner of their choice such as a fellow artist, an organisation, a cultural venue etc.
• Travel between seven and 40 days, or between seven and 14 days for groups of up to five people.
• Benefit from support to travel and subsistence costs as well as individual top-ups based on their project and personal situation.

Residency Action

The Residency Action is directed at legal entities (e.g., non-profit organisations, NGOs, public bodies, foundations, companies, and self-employed persons). It allows them to:

• Host one to five artists or cultural professionals from other Creative Europe countries for a residency project that lasts between 22 and 300 days.
• Benefit from financial support towards the costs of inviting and hosting international artists and cultural professionals, including individual top-ups based on their project and personal situation.
