International exchanges and travel grants theatre

The Swedish Arts Grants Committee provides grants for international exchanges and travel to support theatre artists' opportunities to create, develop and nurture contacts abroad. This includes support for international exchanges and travels abroad as well as international exchanges in Sweden. For travels abroad, exchanges may involve guest performances, tours, residencies, work stays, workshops, or active participation in events. Artists can also apply for self-initiated travel for professional development such as research, attending courses or workshops, visiting festivals or conferences, or meeting with collaborators. For exchanges in Sweden, artists can apply to invite foreign artists to Sweden for collaborative work, symposia, seminars, workshops or artistic projects aimed at strengthening artistic development and international contacts. The grant typically covers travel and living expenses, and in some cases transportation and participation fees, but does not include production costs, fees or salaries.
