Kick-off meeting of the “ECHO Academies” project in Athens
A wonderful occasion brought us together in Athens with colleagues we have been working with since 2018! We are launching our new project “ECHO Academies”, which comes as a continuation of our work so far on the topic of cultural heritage research in the Balkans: ECHO, ECHO ii и ECHO iii
Before experience from our previous projects together, the project tries to tackle the issues of visibility, networking, employability and market entry opportunities for new European talent.
Project goals:
1/. to express and present European heritage in a new way,
2/. to offer new tools and skills for artists and professionals,
3/. to create working networks between artists and professionals with the art market.
The project will take place in the period February 2023 – December 2024 and will enable 40 artists to participate in 4 Academies in 4 of the 5 partner countries. Each of us will welcome artists from different arts::
- Hungary: photography and architecture;
- Greece: comics;
- North Macedonia: music;
- Bulgaria: fashion design.
Open call with conditions will be published next month.
The project is implemented with the financial support of the “Creative Europe” program of the EU.
