Applications for Global Cultural Relations Programme 2023 are open

This year's edition is also welcoming professionals working in the field of climate change and environmental issues besides the cultural and creative sectors.

The Global Cultural Relations Programme (GCRP), the Cultural Relations Platform’s flagship training programme, is a unique opportunity that brings together practitioners from around the world to create meaningful connections and discuss cross-cultural collaborations. For its upcoming edition, there is a shift in focus: the Cultural Relations Platform opens the programme also to participants working in the field of climate change and environmental issues. The past editions were tailored only for cultural and creative professionals. In this edition, the idea is to broaden interdisciplinary cross-cultural collaboration by bringing two professional fields together.

This year the GCRP will take place in Madrid, Spain from 10 – 13 October 2023.

Before applying, listen to our colleague Dicle Gülşahin on how she has benefited from the programme.
