Starting with 2004, ECUMEST initiated a series of
workshops open to young
artists and organised various meetings and debates (presented below)
with
the aim to facilitate a confrontation of the Romanian audience with
other cultural perspectives and proposals, some of which of high relevance
to the Romanian context.
Besides these projects regularly developed, as well as one-off support
granted to various artists (started in 2002), ECUMEST aims to set up
a creativity and mobility fund addressed to young creators and designed
to open to them a confrontation (taking the shape of study travels)
with the artistic trends in other countries in Europe and beyond.
