New Inherit // Open Call for Cultural Ambassadors

NEW INHERIT is co-funded by the Creative Europe Program, under the call CREA-CULT-2023-COOP, Grant Agreement: 101131362 — NEW INHERIT. Views and opinions expressed are however those of the author(s) only and do not necessarily reflect those of the European Union. Neither the European Union nor the granting authority can be held responsible for them.

The program will engage young professionals in culture-related fields to drive community cultural activation in our Testbed Sites. After this open-call for applications, the selected candidates will then participate in three study visits and training sessions (Germany, Spain, Brussels), and be integrated into a network of co-creation & mentoring for their (funded) cultural activation within the testbed site.

During the three trainings and study visits, as well as through the mentoring program, we will develop skills in cultural space activation and adaptive reuse of heritage spaces, contribute to local activities, promote non-formal education, and ensure the inclusion of socially excluded groups within these processes. The program will involve continuous engagement through meetings & co-creation during the program period of 12 months.
