We are Launching a YouTube channel: Partner Search Serbia
Dear colleagues,
We want to increase the visibility of our organisations and create new opportunities for participation in the Creative Europe programme.
This is why we are launching a new YouTube channel for presentation of organisations from Serbia wanting to find partners to participate in Creative Europe.
We invite you to create your three-minute video containing:
1. A short presentation of your organisation and its most important projects
2. Cooperation proposition (a specific project or field in which you would like to develop your work)
3. With whom you would like to establish partner cooperation (countries, types of organisations …).
If it is easier for you – we can record the video in the office of the Creative Europe Desk Serbia, you just have to prepare what you want say!
Please forward video materials to the email address kreativnaevropa@gmail.com.
Your team of the Creative Europe Desk Serbia
