Join us for the "ESR Open House II. — Meet the Partners", a second online session part of the European Solidarity Residency (ESR). Representatives will lead the event from partner organisations.
ESR is a fully funded 30-day residency in Budapest, Dubrovnik, and Lidice. It's primarily geared toward emerging curators and cultural professionals from Creative Europe countries, with strong inclusion for those from underprivileged backgrounds.
What will working in Budapest, Dubrovnik, or Lidice feel like? This session is your chance to meet representatives from all three ESR partner organisations, hear about their local contexts, mentoring approaches, and the types of projects that thrive in each location. It's ideal if you've read the call and want to understand where your proposal could be most effective.
