Additional Details
Selection operates on a first-come, first-served basis, subject to the assessment criteria. Applicants should therefore prepare a practical and clearly articulated co-creation proposal rather than applying with only a general interest in international mobility.
The programme is specifically intended for exchange, learning, and the collaborative creation of a craft piece. Applicants should also demonstrate how sustainability can be incorporated into the proposed co-creation process. After selection, participation is formalized through an agreement between the three parties. If a selected practitioner withdraws before signing, another applicant may subsequently be contacted.
