The project will be based on an interdisciplinary collaboration of researchers, artists, architects, spatial planners, integration workers, educators etc. This is why it will assume research through practice. Its driving force will be ideas of diversity as a resource and non-normative/norm creative thinking. There will be various forms of practices used, e.g. site specific games, performance and theatre in the city space, exhibitions, creating films, interventions and installations in public space, workshops, working with non-human beings in public space, creating new experimental public space, group residencies etc. The research’s results will lead to creating new knowledge on the public space and the consequences of the re-creation – to redefining it.

Global meeting place: 

Tikitut is a local meeting place that, with the help of locally produced sustainable experiences, creates meetings between the area's residents and visitors. The tourism industry is growing and is now one of the world's largest industries. Sweden's strategy for developing Sweden as a destination includes investing in sustainability. Through Tikitut, more areas can be developed. We, local residents and local actors have the opportunity to create one of Sweden's most inclusive social experiences together with visitors. A guest interested in nature is offered personal stories from glocal Tikitut guides. At the local meeting place Tikitut, life experiences are shared and both visitors and locals get a unique experience.

Sustainability:

Our approach is to contribute to sustainability in creative and innovative ways. We have an ambition to participate in the sustainable development of society through Tikitut and do so through the continuous development of internal processes. We convey social values and we do it very well. Through our tourism products, the visitor gets a social experience while benefiting the local community.

Inclusion:

In an open and curious way, Tikitut is the platform for a sustainable society. We strive to be an inclusive force that utilises the resources that a neighbourhood has to offer. We want to promote and highlight the diversity of our society as a valuable asset. Through our activities, we take social responsibility and also find other initiatives and companies that likewise take social responsibility for issues such as diversity in society. We change together and create social development through cooperation.

Creative Lenses (CL) 2015-2019

Creative Lenses was a project co-funded by the Creative Europe programme of the European Union. Implemented from 2015 to 2019, it explored the issue of sustainability of European arts and cultural organisations. In particular, it aimed to address the question of how cultural organisations might become more financially sustainable without compromising their missions and values.

The project’s vision was condensed in the tagline “stronger arts and cultural organisations for a greater social impact”. Also, its mission was to empower cultural organisations with knowledge, methods and tools to become more resilient so they can better create value for society. Some of the main tasks of Creative Lenses were, therefore, to research and explore business models in the cultural sector and whether the concept of the business model was a useful tool to drive organisational change and reflection.

Factories of Imagination (FOI) 2017-2021

The project, co-funded by the Creative Europe programme of the European Union, aims to build internationally connected and resilient cultural centres and professionals that can meet both prevailing and future challenges together with their communities. The project is to contribute to a more competitive, skilled and strong cultural sector that can take on the challenge of re-building an open, creative and inclusive Europe.

Cultural and Creative Spaces and Cities (CCSC) 2018-2021

This is a policy project co-funded by the Creative Europe programme of the European Union. The project is managed by a consortium of ten non-profit and public organisations led by Trans Europe Halles, the European network of non-governmental cultural centres. At the core of this project, there are 7 Urban Labs based in seven European cities. Each one of them groups together non-governmental cultural organisations and local/regional authorities, as well as other relevant stakeholders. Their goal is to address local challenges together and find participatory and commoning solutions to them.

Shared Initiatives for Training (SHIFT) 2019-2021

Trans Europe Halles is part of a consortium of nine European organizations in the SHIFT project. The project is co-funded by the Erasmus+ programme of the European Union and the project leader is the European Music Council in Bonn (DE). The aim is to equip leaders in the cultural sector, primarily leaders of transnational cultural networks, in development work linked to the UN Global Goals for Sustainable Development (SDGs).

Developing Inclusive and Sustainable Creative Economies (DISCE) 2018-2021

DISCE is a three-year project bringing together researchers from Finland, Italy, Latvia and the UK. Funded by the European Commission, via the Horizon 2020 programme, this research will make a major contribution to understanding creative economies across the EU. Combining ten regional case studies with EU-wide quantitative mapping, the project draws on the team’s highly interdisciplinary expertise. It will investigate the relationships between higher education, skills development and creative work; emerging business models; possibilities for improved quantitative mapping; new ways to understand what the ‘growth’ of creative economies consists of – and why such growth is valuable. At the heart of the project is the question of how the creative economies of the future can be both inclusive and sustainable.

Spaces of Transformation in Arts Education (SPOTing) 2020-2023

SPOTing is led by TEH and co-funded by the Erasmus+ programme of the European Union. The project consists of a consortium with 8 TEH members from Sweden, Italy, Great Britain, Luxembourg, Slovakia, France and Austria + TEH. Many of TEH's members conduct cultural educational activities of various kinds, and the purpose of the project is to stimulate professional development and knowledge transfer between the cultural educators. The goal is to strengthen the participating of cultural educators in their profession and to critically reflect on methods and working methods for developing and strengthening cultural pedagogy as a field internationally.

European Urban REgenerators Knowledge Alliance/ (EUREKA) 2021-2023

Together with 10 other partners, TEH is part of EUREKA, a three-year project co-funded by the Erasmus+ programme of the European Union. The project is led by the University of Venice (IUAV) and is based on the challenges that exist in cities around Europe to regenerate abandoned and dilapidated buildings. One profession that has a particularly significant role here is Urban Innovator (UI). There is a high demand for UIs in the labor market, but there is a lack of recognition at EU level in the form of a clear professional role and the opportunity for (further) education. During the project, a multidisciplinary curriculum will be developed to formalize and market the UI role for the private and public sector. TEH will conduct case studies with 10 of our members with experience of social innovation as a tool for urban regeneration and have a leading role for external and internal communication in the project and for the project's advocacy work.

International Resource Office (IRO) 2016-ongoing

The International Resource Office (IRO) is a regional initiative created to support cultural operators in the region of Skåne (SE) with practical support and counselling connected to international collaboration, including projects funded by the EU’s various support programmes. IRO offers a variety of services, such as strategic planning, networking and partnership creation, advice on administrative procedures and practical tools for successful EU applications and project management. The International Resource Office is funded by the Region of Skåne.

Cultural Accelerator 2020-2021

UMR works with non-formal education as a method for educating members, school students, as well as other organizations and actors. We believe that the dissemination of knowledge about racism, its history and its current existence is a way for us to fight it. Organizing locally is key at UMR, and activists are located in different parts of Sweden. In a local group, study circles on racism or post-colonialism are common, but also external trainings and lectures, demonstrations or paying special attention to important days in the fight against racism.

The overall organisation also has smaller projects across Sweden and arranges campaigns and seminars as well as working with advocacy and public debates.
