Protecting and Supporting At-risk and Displaced Arts Professionals Across Borders (Volume 3: Case Studies)
On the Move’s research and action project, focusing on the situation of at-risk and displaced artists, enters a new phase with the publication of case studies, comparative analyses, and syntheses of focus group discussions and interviews. The year-long research and action project studies policies and practices in EU countries, the United Kingdom, and the United States of America that support the active inclusion of displaced artists and cultural professionals. The collective ultimate objective is to propose operational instruments that specifically address the active inclusion and long-term support of displaced arts professionals.
This third phase aims to study the operational aspects of initiatives and programmes that have been highlighted in the previous two reports, as well as by the Advisory Committee members. Moreover, interviews and focus group discussions have helped to better identify the stakes and existing programmes in areas of interest such as professional development and mental health issues. The third report examines existing support schemes, success factors, gaps, and oversights, laying the groundwork for the co-design of innovative responses from local, national, regional, or international support organisations and institutions.
