Green mobility in arts and culture: Beyond the dilemma? | ZMINA:Resilience webinar #5

🌿 𝗭𝗠𝗜𝗡𝗔:𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗖𝗮𝗽𝗰𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 | 𝗚𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗖𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀

We are excited to launch the next chapter of our Capacity Building programme – the Green Culture series. In an era of climate change, ecology in culture is no longer just a choice, but a necessity. This series is designed to help us redefine our artistic and management practices toward sustainability, fairness, and responsibility to the planet.

The concept of green mobility is often reduced to a simple choice of transport. However, the real challenge runs much deeper. We often overlook how the pressure to be "green" can unintentionally exacerbate inequalities in access to culture between different contexts in Europe. Is it possible to travel for the arts sustainably and fairly at the same time?

This training session invites you to rethink established patterns of cultural mobility. Marie Le Sourd from On the Move's network will guide you through both theoretical dilemmas and practical solutions. Instead of offering one-size-fits-all templates, this session provides a platform for sharing your own questions and ideas, while equipping you with concrete tools and practices tailored to the reality of your organisation.

🗣️ 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗿: 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗲 𝗟𝗲 𝗦𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗱
