Call for Participants Transnational Dialogues / Change Utopia Deadline: 22 November 2013 Open to: Young people in the artistic, cultural and creative sectors Venue: December 2013 — December 2014 in China, Brazil and Europe Description Started in 2011 by European Alternatives, Transnational Dialogues facilitates artists, creatives, professionals, intellectuals and writers from different continents to come together for a series of exchanges and co-productions in both physical form and online. The platform promotes sharing of information, networking, and conceptual collaboration between individuals and organisations working in a variety of disciplines transnationally, and offers a trampoline for future collaborations and initiatives. In 2014, Transnational Dialogues: Change Utopia will bring forward a specific collaboration between Europe, China and Brazil, coordinating young creatives from the three continents to reflect and create together in a year-long process of networked-production, a multilayered exchange and mix of virtual collaboration, meetings, seminars and research caravans that outline a new transnational model of cross-mediatic and cross-national production. Eligibility Around 20-25 participants — Brazilian, Chinese or European residents, aged 21-35 years old — will be selected across the three regions. The target groups are students or young practitioners from the visual arts, literature and humanities, social sciences, music, architecture, design, information technology and those fields positively characterized by the amount of creative work. Costs Participating in Transnational Dialogues is free of charge. Furthermore, a number of full and partial scholarships are available, covering some or all of the travel expenses associated with the participation in one (or more) Caravan(s) (see the Presentation Document for more information). Scholarships will be allocated on a merit and/or need basis. You may apply for a scholarship when completing the Application Form. Full scholarships cover all expenses (i.e., international flights, internal flights, accommodation), with the exception of visa and travel insurance. Partial scholarships may vary according to the need and/or merit of the applicant. They would generally cover internal flights and accommodation, but not the international flights, visa and travel insurance. Moreover, Transnational Dialogues will pay for local transportation and at least one meal per day during travel to all participants. Unfortunately the number of scholarships is limited and Transnational Dialogues cannot guarantee financial aid for every participant. However, Transnational Dialogues is happy to help the applicant with the search for funding (e.g., by writing formal invitation letters). Please note that we can only provide funding for participants traveling to or from Europe. Chinese nationals and residents who wish to take part in the First Caravan to Brazil, or Brazilian nationals and residents who wish to take part in the Second Caravan to China, have to cover the full costs by themselves. Nevertheless, we are happy to help any prospective participants with the search for external funding to take part in Transnational Dialogues Application We are now accepting applications on a rolling basis until the places are filled or in any case no later than Friday 22nd November 2013. Please read carefully the documents below, before submitting your application or requesting additional information.
