"European means for cultural cooperation" - the 10th Annual Working Session, Visby, 4 - 5 of May 2007

Dear members of the Union of the Baltic Cities!

It is a great pleasure for me to invite you to the 10th Annual Working Session of the Commission on Culture. This Session is going to be held in Visby on the Swedish island Gotland 4 - 5 May 2007. www.gotland.net  
The invited participants are active in the cultural fields in all the countries around the Baltic Sea, of which several are new members of the European Union. The invitation is sent out to the Municipal Cultural Departments and other cultural institutions.

This network is presented in the Catalogue of Cultural Institutions at www.ubc.net  

The main aim is to stimulate to new cross-border cultural cooperation and to apply for fundings from the EU and other European cultural organisations. Lectures will inform about these possibilities and how to plan projects, to write and send applications. The Session will also give possibilities for cultural managers to meet colleagues in other countries and to preliminary discuss projects that can be of mutual interest for the local cultural life in the Baltic Sea Region and also in other parts of Europe.

The Municipality of Gotland is the host for this Session that is arranged in cooperation with the UBC Secretariat and the UBC Commission on Culture. Participants will have to pay their travels, hotel and registration fees, and send to me their registrations as soon as possible during this month of March.
For more information and programme, see attached files!
If the registrations received exceed 60, the arranger reserves the right to make a selection of participants to ensure a representative mix of attendees.

Be welcome to Gotland!
