CPDP, Continuous Professional Development Programme
As part of the Creative Europe project iCoDaCo 2024-2027, FACE leads the Continuous Professional Development Programme (CPDP) to assist dance artists to better organise their ambition.
Objectives:
- Assist the artists and arts workers who are directly involved in this project as well as the constellation-team-network of arts workers of each partner by developing strategies for sustaining their practices in the 21st century
- Provide practical advice and operational guidance, using various peer exchange formats, to develop alternative methods to create, produce and present work locally and internationally in constantly evolving circumstances
- Support the manifestation, circulation and use of individual expertise to help all part-takers (artists and arts workers) develop stronger and long-lasting relationships as well as their individual/collective trajectories
Tailored accompaniment:
- 4 workshops gathering arts workers, i.e. individual artists / collectives, their administrative teams (producers, managers, tour bookers, agents) addressing cross-cutting themes, discussed at European and global level, in relation to sustainability, how they impact the daily management of their operations and engender tensions, choices or renunciations. The workshops aims to analyze both how arts workers translate values into working principles and help surface their needs, establish a diagnostic on new knowledge, contacts, tools, skills they need to acquire.
- individual support to 53 artist / collective and their administrative team with access to tailor-made guidance provided either by external experts/resource persons or partners’ team members. This guidance focus on different areas such as strategies to move from a project-based approach to a more global development approach; redeployment of working time; identification of skills needed; identification of funding sources; communication and marketing; networking.

Training Course: International Cooperation
This course aims to equip learners with the tools and resources necessary to develop an international cooperation project, enabling them to respond to European and international calls for proposals. The training is conducted either in person or remotely. To effectively cover theory and facilitate project drafting by the end of the course, the programme encompasses the identification of programmes and partners for project submission, and the drafting of an initial concept note outlining the context, objectives, and partners of a project in response to a call for proposals.
Target audience:
Directors or employees working on the development, coordination, and management of cultural projects.
Objectives:
- Master European funding programmes for cultural cooperation: eligibility criteria, funding processes, and frameworks for action.
- Design multilateral cooperation projects with other European stakeholders: mastery of the logical framework for drafting, building complementary ecosystems.
- Quantitatively and qualitatively evaluate the impacts of a European project on partner territories.
- Produce and share insights on selected projects within these programmes.
