Please register  HERE:  https://forms.gle/z5ZovBcetvxAjRsG9/ 
Please register before August 26th.
 

This is the first workshop where members of the residency networks from the three countries can connect online.
 

Workshop 1 Topic: Residencies Engaging with Local Communities
This topic will be explored through the "People Need People" session, an online adaptation of a Warm Data Lab. This gathering is designed for warm conversations, providing a space to embrace the vitality of life.

In our ever-changing world, we often encounter complex, interwoven challenges that can leave us feeling simultaneously stuck, overwhelmed, and underwhelmed. How do we meet these challenges and create new possibilities together?
Developed by Nora Bateson, the Warm Data practice is designed for groups interested in strengthening their collective ability to learn, perceive, discuss, and understand complex issues.
 

Facilitators:  The session will be led by Illah van Oijen, Evelin Grauen, and other hosts trained by the International Bateson Institute.

We're looking forward to your registration!

ABOUT THE BALTIC-NORDIC RESIDENCY FORUM

Residency networks LOORE, FAIRE and SWAN  aim to build up a long-term network and involve other Baltic and Nordic residency networks in it.  LOORE includes 17 residency organizers across Estonia, FAIRE 70 residencies in Finland and SWAN encompasses over 130 network members and 60 residency members in Sweden.

The project aims to achieve a dual goal: to assist Estonian, Finnish, and Swedish networks of creative residencies in developing sustainable organizational work models and to establish a collaboration platform for organizers of artist-in-residence programs in these countries, promoting the sharing of best practices, facilitating exchanges, and stimulating collaborations within the Nordic-Baltic region.

The network was initiated by LOORE already in the fall of 2023 and developed in dialogue with representatives of the FAIRE and SWAN networks.
Baltic-Nordic Residency Forum has received a grant from Short-term network funding from the Nordic Culture Point to establish a project.
