Online introductory workshop on European Cooperation Projects 2026 and other Creative Europe opportunities

Beyond the general information already provided at EU level, this workshop will offer a more practical perspective, including concrete advice on partnership building, project design, budgeting and the application process, as well as common mistakes and successful examples from Slovenia – one of the most successful countries participating in the programme.

The workshop is open to the wider cultural sector in Moldova and will also provide space for participants to ask questions related to partnership building, international cooperation, Creative Europe opportunities and project applications.

We will also present two upcoming in-person April workshops in Chișinău for organisations that are seriously considering applying to the European Cooperation Projects call this year or next year.

Lecturer: Mateja Lazar, Head of Creative Europe Desk Slovenia and Motovila Institute, based in Ljubljana, Slovenia
Language: English
Duration: 2 hours

Why registration is required: Collected information will help the Creative Europe Desk Moldova map the Moldovan cultural and creative sectors and better understand who is engaging with Creative Europe opportunities. It will also allow the Desk to keep interested organisations and professionals informed about future Creative Europe calls, events and capacitybuilding opportunities.

Participation is free of charge.
