The first is focused on skills development and knowledge transfer ; the second on the creation of innovative new performances and participatory practices that engage with many of those audiences and communities currently excluded from cultural provision in Europe, with a special attention to migrants and refugees. It aims to:- Develop new audiences for the arts, including those from under-served communities such as refugees ;- Build new skills and competences amongst Arab artists recently established in Europe and European organisations;- Increase international capacity and intercultural knowledge;- Promote the creation and transnational circulation of cultural works and the mobility of artists across of Europe and beyond.The project is of real benefit to the wider sector. It will strengthen cooperation amongst the participating organisations, enhance the professional capacity of Arab refugees artists, build a pool of audiences, data, knowledge and understanding and will disseminate information and models of good practices across the Euromed arts sector.
