Intercult Academy Launches the 2026 European Tour

The Swedish cultural sector is about to receive a major boost of international inspiration!

Intercult is proud to announce the launch of ‘Intercult Academy on Tour’, an ambitious series of international mobility programmes designed to bring together Sweden-based participants with influencers from the European creative landscape.

Thanks to mobility grants, Intercult has the opportunity to support participants in their travels to key European hubs for skills development and inspiration. The year 2026 is packed with opportunities to gain new perspectives and expand networks across national borders.

• April: Riga (Latvia) & Madrid (Spain)
• June: Brussels (Belgium)
• October: Maastricht (Netherlands)
• November: Leuven (Belgium)

We are also proud partners of Culture Action Europe (CAE) through the programme in Riga. CAE is a major player in European networking for cultural organisations and practitioners. They act as the political voice of the cultural sector by advocating for policies that recognise culture as an essential part of maintaining the various functions of society. Their work is essential in connecting and bridging gaps for cultural practitioners and decision-makers within the EU.

The Intercult Academy Programme is made possible thanks to support from the European Union. Intercult has been awarded Erasmus+ accreditation, a formal recognition that ensures our ability to provide consistent support for international knowledge exchange and professional development within the Swedish cultural sector.
