ENGINE ROOM EUROPE
Start date: May 1, 2011,

ENGINE ROOM EUROPEDeveloping a sustainable future for the European Independent cultural sector Engine Room Europe is a three-year capacity building project dedicated to the sustainable future of the European independent cultural sector through investment in its cultural workers and their creative processes.This objective will be achieved by a three-year programme of Europe wide activities. These programmes have four main themes: artistic productions & processes; mobility & training; intercultural dialogue & sustainability and all will be coordinated by 11 co-organisers, selected because of their geographical spread, experience, newly established profiles and mix of competencies.The culmination of Engine Room Europe is a major convention in Amsterdam in the Spring of 2014, where the full range of project outcomes will presented, debated and celebrated. This convention will be open to the wider European cultural sector and key cultural leaders and commentators will be invited to attend. Most importantly, the legacy of the project will continue to add value for European culture after the life of the programme through an interactive internet resource titled IndieArchive. This 'living' archive will capture the wealth of activity and knowledge that is the content of Engine Room Europe but more, it will, for the first time offer a pan-European resource to the independent cultural sector, a resource that will be continued, maintained and developed by co-organising partner Trans Europe Halles (a network of independent cultural centres).Happening in historic times, Engine Room Europe and its outcomes will not only be an important event for the independent cultural sector but will represent new thinking and new visions from Europe, echoing a similar message but with different voices, that independent culture is the research and development engine of European civic life and that this project, Engine Room Europe, contributed to its future sustainability and vibrancy.
