About this opportunity

This is an international sustainability program for music and performing arts organizations in Norway, Denmark, and England. The program aims to develop more climate-friendly and inclusive touring and co-production practices while strengthening networks between music and performing arts actors in the three countries. The program has two phases: Phase 1 consists of a free, interactive digital seminar program (for beginners or advanced participants) led by Julie's Bicycle and In futurum, covering topics like sustainable touring, climate impact measurement, circular economy principles, and social sustainability. Phase 2 offers project financing through a closed application round where seminar participants can form partnerships and apply for funding to test sustainable solutions in practice. Projects can focus on artistic production, new distribution methods, or research and development. The total funding available is £120,000, with individual projects eligible for up to £40,000.
Two weeks after decision is made (mid-late June for Phase 1)
