Join ARC for On the Move's Mobility Webinar: Internationalisation and the Caribbean! On the Move and the ACP-EU CULTURE have partnered to explore the international cultural mobility flows from, to, and within the Caribbean region. The Webinar will use the takeaways from the mapping recently carried out for the preparation of the Mobility Funding Guide to the Caribbean (2024), as well as the Cultural Mobility Flows Report on European Outermost Regions and Overseas Countries and Territories (2022).
The aims of the webinar are to:
- Share the key learning of the mapping related to cultural mobility opportunities in the Caribbean region,
- Identify the solutions from lived experiences and recent initiatives to contribute to strengthening mobility opportunities within the Caribbean region and connected to it, and
- Contribute to outline recommendations to cultural operators and decision-makers for better cross-border cultural relations, access to mobility information, and professional development concerning the Caribbean region.
The conversation will be in English, with interpretation into Spanish, and with live captioning.
