Research Trips
Arab Region, Switzerland
Duration
Up to four weeks
Location
Arab Region, Switzerland
A research trip (max. 4 weeks) enables artists and cultural practitioners (e.g. curators, event organisers, mediators) to carry out research in an Arab country or, conversely, in Switzerland. The aim of the trip is to prepare an exchange project. Pro Helvetia supports the compilation of the visiting programme with professional know-how. The Swiss Arts council covers the costs of travel, accommodation, insurance and per diem expenses.
Selection criteria:
- convincing track record: personal artistic activity above and beyond regional
- context-related motivation
- adequate foreign language skills
- specific cultural exchange project with sustainable impact and international resonance, that meet the general criteria of Pro Helvetia.
