The last cycle of the public call for financial support to local artists and cultural workers for the implementation of a study and research trip to Japan within the ‘Kizuna’ exchange programme is open until 31 August. The project is implemented by the ‘Novi Sad – European Capital of Culture’ Foundation in cooperation with the ‘EU – Japan Fest’ from Tokyo.

The aim of the call is to encourage the internationalisation of the cultural scene of Novi Sad and connect local cultural workers and artists with partners from Japan.

The research trip to Japan brings development of cooperation projects that would be implemented in 2022 within the Novi Sad – European Capital of Culture project. In this regard, the proposals of project ideas must be in accordance with the programme arches and topics of the Novi Sad – European Capital of Culture project. More information are provided on the link.

Applications with supporting documentation should be sent to international@ns2021.rs.
