The fourth round of the Bridge Between European Cultural Centres
(BECC) has been launched now.
BECC is the Europe-wide staff exchange programme of the ENCC. It aims
at enabling locally based cultural workers to go abroad for a short
stay with a cultural organisation in another country to exchange good
practices, acquire new skills and knowledge and build long-term
partnerships.
Every staff member of a cultural centre can participate – no matter
if manager, professional, technician, artist, project coordinator,
trainee or volunteer.
Since the BECC started in 2009 more than 40 organisations from 16
countries have participated in the programme sending and receiving 68
exchanges and creating an informal network of centres interested in
exchanging with each other. You can check the profiles of last year
participating centres here <http://becc-encc.eu/content/becc-2011>
Practical information:
The BECC 2012 will consists of a preparation seminar taking place in
Helsinki from the 14th to the 16th of June and the exchange of 20
cultural professionals from all over Europe from July to December.
