Workshops for applicants for co-operation projects of the EU Culture Programme

The Cultural Contact Point is running two workshops for applicants to the Strand 1 ‘co-operation projects’ where we will go through the application form in detail with you, explaining the requirements and other relevant issues, and answering queries you may have about your own project. You will be asked to send a copy of the project summary part of your application in advance of the workshop.
The workshops will take place from 1.30pm to 4.30pm in London on 1 September (Romanian Cultural Institute on Google Maps) and in Manchester on 2 September (Arts Council England office on Google Maps). Registrations will start at 1pm.

The delegate fee for this event is £20 (no VAT).
