EU Project Experience

Some experience (1 - 2 previous projects)

Create was the lead partner in the successful Creative Europe Cooperation Project, 'Collaborative Arts Programme Partnership' (CAPP, 2015–2018).

The overall goal of CAPP was to improve and open up opportunities for artists who are working collaboratively across Europe, by enhancing mobility and exchange whilst at the same time engaging new publics and audiences for collaborative practices.

‍EU Funding Goals

Having led one significant Creative Europe partnership project, we are now much more confident and ready to take on further ambitious collaborative projects with partners across Europe. We would like to explore further Creative Europe projects as well as other funding programmes such as Erasmus+.

Create's current strategy, "Connect Create Change; Leading Collaborative Arts in Ireland", was launched at a time of significant global change and in the firm belief that by working together, artists and communities can purposefully explore how collaborative arts engage in distinct, relevant and powerful ways with the urgent social, cultural and political issues of our times. This strategy provides a framework to support the ecology, resources and relationships that will develop discourse, policy and next practice from 2020 to 2025.

Our five strategic goals are designed to increase the reach of collaborative arts, enhance its value and ensure its ongoing sustainability. Our actions will create key focal points for the sector over the coming years.
