The main objective of this Cultural Mobility Funding Guide is to provide an overview of the funding bodies and programmes that support the international mobility of artists and culture professionals travelling from/to the Nordic-Baltic region, namely:
- Denmark, including Faroe Islands and Greenland
- Estonia
- Finland, including Åland
- Iceland
- Latvia
- Lithuania
- Norway
- Sweden
On the Move commissioned researchers to map grants and support schemes focusing on the Nordic-Baltic region in order to help organisations and arts workers to engage with international colleagues and finance their international travel. This research took place from December 2024 to March 2025.
This Cultural Mobility Funding Guide should also provide inspiration for those responsible for public policies and mobility funds at local, regional, national and European level, as well as private donors and mobility stakeholders at large. Reinforcing awareness of the remaining obstacles that stand in the way of equal access to international opportunities, it can suggest areas that should be financed more fairly and efficiently in order to ensure more sustainable support for cross-border cultural collaboration.
This Mobility funding guide focused on the Nordic-Baltic Region is co-funded by the European Union.
