Idea Camp 2017: Apply by 20 September
You can now apply for ECF's third Idea Camp that will take place in March 2017. Deadline to apply is 20 September 2016.
From the organisers:
What's Idea Camp?
ECF’s Idea Camp is a three-day collaborative working platform organised within the framework of Connected Action for the Commons, a network and action research programme led by ECF together with six cultural organisations from across Europe.
- The Idea Camp 2014 took place in Marseille, France and focused on the topic "Connected Action for Public Space".
- The Idea Camp 2015 took place in Botkyrka, Sweden under the theme “Build the City”, applying the principles and ethics of the commons.
- The Idea Camp 2017 will take place in Spain on 1-3 March 2017 and will focus on the theme "Moving Communities".
ECF believes in bold alternatives provided by citizens through their local cultural initiatives. At this time of transition, ECF invests in these local initiatives to help them to become enduring solutions to the challenges facing our continent. Europe as a shifting ‘home’ of changing communities – where people can live together in solidarity, accepting their differences – is an urgent priority in ECF’s focus over the coming years.
Guidelines and application
Candidates should submit an idea that fosters the Europe we believe in: a Europe of solidarity and openness shaped and nurtured by people
The organisers invite you to apply for Idea Camp 2017 with an idea that:
- brings forward voices that are excluded from public debate and decision-making
- has an open approach to the way people can learn, share and live together
- applies a critical perspective to what could be a more accessible and inclusive society
- strengthens the vision and practice of shared communities and coexistence
- builds bridges across differing perspectives to help counter harmful public discourse

Your idea might reflect one or several of the issues aforementioned.
