With these two reports, written with the support of Claire Rosslyn Wilson, you can discover more the advocacy and engagement actions of On the Move in 2022, through its multiannual programme co-funded by the European Union.
2022 On the Move advocacy report
On the Move supports artists and professionals to operate internationally while working to reimagine mobility as fairer, greener and more inclusive. Advocacy is a key part of this work, which On the Move articulates around participating in key events, developing policy documents, contributing to campaigns, leading and participating in working groups, developing partnerships, and supporting their members through networking opportunities and professional development.
This report provides an outline of the core advocacy activities On the Move carried out in 2022 and the future directions of these advocacy initiatives.
Key advocacy actions are articulated around 4 main issues: 1) Mobility Info Points, 2) Environmental sustainability, 3) Pledge to support a fairer, more accessible, and more responsible cultural mobility, 4) the War in Ukraine.
It is hoped that this report provides a concise overview of the themes, directions and reach of On the Move’s advocacy in the area of international mobility in the cultural field.
