Description

How can we reorganize our social order?; express our demands artistically? and generate more participation? These are some of the questions that Cultural Innovators Network (CIN) aims to answer. The Cultural Innovators Network is a transnational Euro-Mediterranean network initiated by the Goethe-Institut in 2012. It aims to promote cultural experimentation and innovation across borders, and sees creativity as a fundamental component of change.

The network is unique in bringing together cultural innovators from overlapping domains and sectors – including media, performing arts, visual arts, literature, design, social enterprise, active citizenship and peace work – and facilitating their creative collaboration and mutual learning. Each coming from the cutting-edge of their fields and highly engaged in their respective geographical contexts, the members of the network are cross-pollinators and hybridizers, interested in both invention and intervention.

CIN is now opening up membership of the Network for the first time since its creation, and would like to invite you to apply. Those selected will have the opportunity to attend the third Cultural Innovators Network Forum in Thessaloniki in June 2014, where new projects and programs of the Network will be developed, capacity building sessions will be held, and new collaborations will be born.
