Motasa'a Hybrid Forum

Motasa’a is dedicated to exploring crucial aspects of economic, social and ecological sustainability of cultural spaces in Jordan, France and Germany. During the forum, representatives of eight cultural spaces share and discuss their experiences, innovative approaches and best-practices regarding topics such as alternative income generation, social inclusion, advocacy, horizontal decision making and much more.

The forum is the outcome of an intensive exchange and mutual visits between the eight participating spaces of the project and aims at strengthening sustainable practices of cultural spaces in Jordan and beyond.

Following the forum, cultural spaces from Jordan have the opportunity to apply for mentoring sessions with one of the participating eight cultural spaces. The call for the mentoring program will be launched soon.

Speakers/Participating spaces:

• Matthias Einhoff - ZK/U (Berlin - Germany)
• Jessica Grömminger & Lena Hoppe - Platzprojekt (Hannover - Germany)
• Jean Pierre Chrétien-Goni - Le Vent Se Lève (Paris - France)
• Eva Riccio - Friche la Belle de Mai (Marseille - France)

• Fadi Amireh - Jadal for Knowledge and Culture (Amman - Jordan)

Please note: Since the content of the forum will be prepared in a participatory and inclusive manner during an intensive working period with everyone involved ahead of the forum, a detailed schedule is not yet available.

The project is jointly implemented by the Goethe-Institut in Jordan, the Institut francais de Jordanie and MedeArts and funded by the Franco-German cultural fund.
