connect and create # creative tandems

The Connect and Create programme is an initiative led by the Goethe-Institut and Expertise France, in partnership with the Institut français and with the support of the European Union. It aims to foster collaboration, exchange, and the circulation of artistic works within Africa and between sub-Saharan Africa and the European Union. As the sub-Saharan African component of the Africa–Europe Cultural Partnership programme, it focuses on youth, emerging artistic scenes, and cultural diversity, with the ambition to build sustainable, inclusive, and equitable cooperation.

The Connect and Create #Creative Tandems call for proposals is designed to support cooperation and co-production projects in the fields of performing arts and music. Each project must be jointly conceived and implemented by a tandem consisting of one partner based in sub-Saharan Africa and one partner based in a European Union country.
