Working Groups

The working groups are a place for On the Move’s members to think and act together on the challenges facing the cultural mobility field.

Current working groups

  • A man, a refugee, is seen through the barrier of steel fencing.
    At-risk and Displaced Arts Workers
    The At-risk and Displaced Arts Workers working group shares practices, common actions, and advocacy tools in relation to artists or cultural professionals whose mobility is not purely voluntary.
  • Mobility Info Points logo - has the words contained in a large circle, with a smaller dark point inside it.
    Mobility Information Points
    Mobility Information Points (MIP) are information centres and/or websites who aim to tackle the administrative challenges artists and cultural professionals face when working across borders.

Past working groups

  • A table covered with notes and post-its from a workshop/discussion at COP21.
    Green Context-specific Mobility
    This group explores problems, solutions, ideas and projects related to green mobility - understanding it as a global, intersectional challenge.
  • Open space quotes and post-it notes stuck to two big cardboard displays, reading things like 'Whatever happens is the only thing that could have' and 'When it's over it's over'.
    International Professional Development Programmes
    A group collaborating to improve the design and delivery of professional development programmes focused on international work.
  • A dozen or so people sitting around a conference table at a presentation on digital mobility.
    Mobility Funders
    Bringing together funders from different countries, this group aims to think collectively about the future of mobility funding – and the field as a whole.
