Incubator 2025: Istanbul
In 2025, our Incubator training programme will take you to the heart of Istanbul, Türkiye, for a retreat hosted by our member Sanatatak.
With the help of our team of experienced international mentors, participants will refine their cultural project ideas to get ready to apply to the European funding scheme of their choice. The training retreat will also offer trainees invaluable opportunities to network and connect with other socio-culture professionals from all over Europe and beyond. A rich programme will take them through Istanbul's vibrant cultural life. Participants who choose to stay for the weekend will also have the chance to visit the 18th Istanbul Biennial.
This edition of the programme will dedicate a special focus to the inclusion and cultural participation of marginalised groups, from an intersectional and inter-generational perspective. However, projects with other focuses are equally encouraged to apply. If you aspire to take your project to the European level, Incubator is the programme for you.
