MOBILITY FIRST! COLLABORATIONS GRANT

April 2021,

In these dark times, it’s good when we have some positive news.

A little win for team Jugaadopolis as our collaborative effort with Urbandig project has been selected amongst the top 15 proposals for the 1st cycle of Mobility First’s new collaboration grants by ASEF.

In days when we all are isolating it’s nice to be connected to each other in the creative realm of the virtual world.

They met in the framework of the Global Cultural Leadership Programme and together with other alumni of this initiative they wanted to keep alive the network and legacy of the programme and have created the Cultural Constellations network(CULCO).

They will be organising a virtual case clinic as peer to peer mentorship programme to discuss organisational and professional challenges faced by each of our organisations in our business models and ways of connecting with their audiences and communities during the last year and how to work with communities in the new normal. This exchange will lead to a short guide and texts will also be produced and shared widely.
