Turkey – European Union

deutsch

 

2011-2012

Tandem – A Cultural Managers Exchange Programme  - Turkey-European Union -  is a new initiative by Stiftung Mercator (Essen) and the European Cultural Foundation (Amsterdam) together with MitOst (Berlin), Anadolu Kültür (Istanbul) and Istanbul Bilgi University (Istanbul). It offers the chance for 15 cultural organisations based in Germany and other EU countries to create a co-production together with Turkish partner organisations specifically from Anatolian cities. The project extends far beyond the core elements of international understanding and provides the opportunity for participating cultural managers to get real insights into Turkey’s cultural scene.

What are we aiming for?

Building partnerships with cultural organisations from Turkey

The purpose of this project is to build long-term successful collaborations between cultural organisations/initiatives and cultural managers from Turkey, particularly from Anatolian cities, and EU countries, particularly from Germany, and to promote the project as an example of new exemplary collaboration. With 15 cultural organisations from Turkey, and 15 from EU countries, taking part in a two-year targeted development process and forming 15 European-Turkish “tandems”.

Why are we doing it?

Organisational development by cultural exchange/ co-productions

We believe in the importance of working together to create dialogue among different groups and different communities. The opportunity to experience learning first-hand in new organisational and artistic localities will offer an inspiring and stimulating space to develop partnerships and creative practise.
