"Experiment diversity (with the street arts and circus!)" is a project to be delivered by key European partners, each of whom are information centres that provide information/advice on these creative sub-sectors: Subtopia (Sweden), Circus Development Agency (UK), Internationaal Straattheaterfestival (Belgium) and Sirkuksen tiedotuskeskus (Finland). Together, the partners aim to:> Provide information and intelligence in order to strengthen intercultural dialogue and understanding of local cultural contexts/realities;> Create and foster opportunities for artists and cultural workers to explore new connections;> Expand the skills and knowledge of new and existing cultural organisations, cultural workers, for a diverse and sustainable arts environment within these unique art forms.To achieve these goals, we propose a project to:> Welcome 32 artists (individuals and collectives) and cultural workers (producers, artistic company managers, critics, presenters, technical directors, etc.) from the EU to the 4 Partner States, to visit the street arts and circus contexts during facilitated six-day tours. [Visits]> Create, produce and distribute information and intelligence relating to these art forms via the network of information officers: free multilingual help-sheets, cultural/sub-sector profiles [Briefings].> Review the visits by highlighting the key elements of each context, to underline their diversity, to collect and give visibility of best practices. The experiences and reflections will be published in a book [Diversity/Highlights]. These results will be disseminated at regional, national, European levels.The information centres taking part into the project are specialised in the street arts and the circus and are all active members of the Circostrada Network - European platform for information, research and professional exchanges (www.circostrada.org).
