1. encounter, exchange, produce within diversity of experiences :
the mobility programme ( May 2005 to February 2008 )
The mobility programme aims to be a tool for professionalisation, creation, and collaboration for young artists. It offers a wide range of ideas for renewed residencies where co-productions between artists and the encounter of a new audience can be outlined.
Selected for their adherence to this concept, the partner structures offer an opening to contrasting local, social and economic environments.
The steps and projects setting up are based on the network of national coordinators and associated partners who incite the actors to exchange.
The young artists' productions give rise to exhibitions, performances, shows and publications...Many work are also broadcasted on the website www.art4eu.net and on partner sites.

open art programme details
open art programme is aimed at young artists who have taken on the challenge of exploring new forms of expression in association with other artists from varied artistic horizons. By crossing their experience, they include a varied public in their artistic project.
Reference points of experience, the partner structures host, for instance, a video artist, a choreographer and a musician simultaneously, thus initiating open collaborative projects. - artshare details

Okuparte details
Okuparte in association with a town, invites young artists to take over vacant shops or workshops in deserted urban areas. Creating a new type of "commerce", the shop becomes a centre of passage and exchange. The neighbouring inhabitants start to come together again in the context of this original and unexpected artistic project. For instance, an old café may reopen and become the centre of a project, aiming at rediscovering certain forgotten places in the town.

artists in the workplace (artistes en entreprise) details
artists in the workplace (Artistes en entreprise) is an experiment that moves the residency site to the heart of today's economic system. The workplace does not permit a normal residency where timeless creations could be imagined. It becomes a field of experimentation and discovery where the singular links between private utopia, collective necessity and economic reality play out. At the heart of these stakes, the artist sees and, with pertinence and creativity, produces a project born from the complexity and problems of human relations.
A large European company will host this experiment in some of its subsidiary companies with groups of artists including choreographers, video artists, musicians and designers all working in the field of human relations. -
european artistic trek (Parcours européen de la jeune création) details
european artistic trek (Parcours européen de la jeune création) was first experimented in 2004 and replies to a growing demand by the young artists: exploring different European identities and producing their projects on the move. Many groups of artists have developed a proposal around a journey through many partner countries, to encounter different people.
