ENTER Programme for Collaboration with a Nordic Focus

What it is

ENTER is a programme for ambitious collaborative ideas that can open new perspectives in the Nordic region without requiring a predetermined outcome. The initiative must have Nordic anchoring and be built on collaboration across borders. Participants can be from outside the Nordic region; what matters is the initiative's clear relationship to the Nordic region. The programme aims to offer space to experiment, learn and test new directions, challenging established ways of thinking.

Who it is for

Artists, producers, managers and organisations working in any art form who want to develop an ambitious collaborative idea with a Nordic anchor and cross-border partners.

Eligibility unconfirmed. Check the residency and nationality rules on the source before applying.
