Erasmus + is not just Youth and Education ...

Discovering the possibilities of the Erasmus + Program for European cultural operators

ERASMUS+ is the most important funding program of the European Union for the support to initiatives dedicated to education, training, youth and sport, and offers many possibilities also for the performing arts sectors. Furthermore, ERASMUS+ is perhaps the only program that recognizes 100% of the expenses incurred for the implementation of the project. Its budget of €14.7 billion will provide opportunities for over 4 million Europeans to study, train, gain experience, and volunteer abroad. Set to last until 2020, Erasmus+ doesn't just have opportunities for students, it also gives opportunities for a wide range of organisations, such as universities, education and training providers, think-tanks, research organisations and private businesses.

OPEN STREET AT EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT
BRUSSELS (23rd May 2018)

City of Certaldo (IT), Open Street aisbl, 7 MEPs, 27 Institution of 5 Countries have been involved in a meeting at European Parliament in Bruxelles for Mysteries & Drolls project presentation

23 May 2018 is an important date for the cultural cooperation project Mysteries and Drolls: in Brussels, at the European Parliament, thanks to the interest of the European Parliamentarian Nicola Danti, together with the Project Leader Municipality of Certaldo and the coordination of Open Stret aisbl, the European cultural cooperation project is presented to the invited European Parlamentarians together with representatives of governmental and cultural institutions from the countries involved. The presentation of the project will be an unrepeatable occasion to emphasize to Parlamentarians invited how culture can play a dominant role in practically all European policies, thus encouraging all Member States and the European Parliament to guarantee a substantial and sustainable increase in the budget assigned to the culture. It is hoped that the presentation of the project could represent a significant event for the future of the European theatre, thanks to which the cultural cooperation promoted by Open Street will be recognized by the governments and institutions of the continent.

The important result achieved will be able to introduce Mysteries and Drolls as an excellent example of cultural co-operation. The project, designed by Open Street aisbl, foresees a framework of research, training and experimentation, in an European and intercultural dimension, on the forms and languages of medieval theatre and jester arts, emphasizing the centrality of the forms of the sacred and the buffoon, which are the very roots of every theatrical form of today and represents a common and shared heritage for the whole continent.
