TunisiaCultural entrepreneurship and partnerships: Med Culture programme holds series of workshops in Tunisia
December 16, 2016
Share on 
The EU-funded Med Culture programme is organising two regional capacity-building activities in Tunis with the participation of cultural actors from 8 southern Mediterranean countries and a second meeting of the Tunisia national working group between 17 and 22 December.
The first activity (17-19 Dec.) is a regional workshop based on peer-to-peer exchanges on the theme of cultural entrepreneurship. Its objective is to explore the specificities of entrepreneurship in the cultural field, to provide the participants with the necessary resources to rethink or improve their working methods, and to encourage them to create their own, tailor-made business model.
The second regional workshop (19-21 dec.), on the theme ‘Reinventing partnerships’, will examine the evaluation of the collaborative process, and analyse different models and practices that promote interactions between different stakeholders, including opportunities to collaborate with other sectors at multiple levels.
A second meeting of the Tunisia national working group will take place on 22 December 2016 to take stock of the activities carried out to date and to present the action plan for the year 2017, the last year of the programme. It will also seek to discuss the collaborations and bridges that could be put in place with the bilateral EU-Tunisia programme. This group brings together cultural operators from a variety of backgrounds, from both the public sector and civil society organisations.
Med Culture is an EU-funded regional programme that kicked off in February 2014 with the aim of sustaining the creation of institutional and social environments to support culture as a vector for freedom of expression and sustainable development. This should be accomplished by reinforcing the capacities of the public and private cultural sectors as vectors for democratisation, and economic and social development for societies in the Southern Mediterranean.
Med Culture is part of the regional programme “Media and culture for development in the Southern Mediterranean” which has been allocated a total budget of EUR 17 million over a four-year period, of which EUR 9 million is for the award of grants on a co-financing basis, and EUR 8 million for one capacity-development mechanism on media (Med Media) and one capacity development mechanism on culture (Med Culture).
