16 July 2015

Centre for Cultural Management (Ukraine) in partnership with:

Centre for Social Innovations (CSI) – Belarus
Charity and Support Fund “Flying University” – Belarus-Lithuania
International Foundation LEA – Georgia
Centre for Cultural Policies – Moldova
European Cultural Foundation (ECF) – The Netherlands

announce the call for experts to participate in the project "Culture Coding EaP'' aimed at the development of the concepts and road maps for national cultural policy in Belarus, Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine.

The project team is looking for 2 experts from Ukraine, Georgia and Moldova, and one from Belarus.

Requirements for the experts:

Experience in cultural policy research or implementation in the home country. International experience will be an advantage
Ability to think and act holistically and strategically
Deep understanding of the link and interdependence between individual and national culture, values, identity, security
Ability to work in an international team
Fluency in either English or Russian language
Citizenship of Belarus, Georgia, Moldova or Ukraine
Ability to work on the project from September to November 2015

Since the new cultural policies of these countries must be comprehensive and wide-ranging, preference will be given to candidates who have experience not only in the cultural sector.

Experts will be selected on the basis of cover letters and CV, to be e-mailed by 27 July 2015 to ua-bl-md-ge@kultura.org.ua. Documents should be submitted in Russian or English.

Though the continuous joint work on the project will start in September only, the selected experts will be asked to start thinking about the concepts of national cultural policy since August already, so that in September they are able to suggest concrete ideas for the documents.

Selected experts and project partners will have to complete the major part of the concepts and road maps for national cultural policy of their countries by the next Annual Assembly of the Eastern Partnership Civil Society Forum to be held in Kyiv on 20-21 November 2015.

The project budget envisages fees of selected experts and covers their participation in the meetings in Minsk (September) and Lviv (November).

The project is financed by the European Union and the Eastern Partnership Civil Society Forum. More details on the project are provided here.
