Culture Moves Europe, the mobility program of Creative Europe, is accepting applications for work periods with a partner abroad until 30 April 2027. According to the call document of 29 September 2026, applying costs nothing: no registration fee, no administrative fee.

The program is funded by the European Union and run by the Goethe-Institut. Architecture, design and fashion design are listed there as sectors in their own right, alongside music, literature, performing arts, visual arts and heritage.

The call document provides 85 euros for every day of work on the project in the destination country; travel days do not count. On top of that comes a travel allowance of 400 euros under 5,000 kilometers and 800 euros above that. For personal assistance or a sign language interpreter there is accessibility support of 30 euros per day.

According to the same document, an individual work period lasts seven days at the minimum and sixty at the maximum. A group of at most five makers applies together, for seven to twenty-one days.

Applicants choose the partner themselves, a person or an organization, in a Creative Europe country other than their country of residence. The project pursues two of four aims: to learn, to create, to explore, to connect.

The application runs through a dossier with proof of identity, proof of legal residence, a short CV, a portfolio and a letter of invitation from that partner. Top-ups for green travel, a visa or children go into the same form.

The call document sets the deadline on the last day of every month: 31 October 2026 is the next one, and there is none in December 2026. Anyone who applies at one monthly deadline cannot apply at a following one, not even after a rejection.

Results follow within eight weeks, without feedback. Applications go through the Goethe-Application Portal; the conditions are on the page of the European Commission.
