Border Crossings will work with artists and international cultural partners to make theatre and other cultural outputs that reflect the increasingly multicultural and international nature of Irish society. The company’s approach will embrace the international dimension of Irish life occasioned by the arrival of new citizens, and will offer a space where people of different backgrounds can encounter one another’s cultures on an equal footing. • International Collaboration. Border Crossings will work with partners across the European Union and beyond to develop innovative new approaches to theatrical and cultural creation, participation and learning. By collaborating with international artists and cultural operators of high professional standing, Border Crossings will enhance the cultural offer in the Irish Republic, and generate international opportunities for Irish artists. • Participation and Education. Border Crossings will work closely with the diverse communities of contemporary Ireland, both within the education system and at a grassroots community level, to enable wide and varied participation in cultural activities, regardless of ethnic and cultural identity, religious beliefs, and socio-economic background. Border Crossings’ education and community work will relate directly to the company’s professional projects, ensuring an ongoing dialogue between artistic production and the development of community participation.

General Information
The Centre for Creative Arts and Media (CCAM) is part of the Galway Mayo Institute of Technology (GMIT) which has 5 campuses in the West of Ireland. Funding comes from the Irish Higher Education Authority as well as research funding through postgraduate and individual research funding. CCAM is a specialist campus located in the heart of Galway City offering undergraduate studies in film & documentary, art & design, fine art, and textiles in a vibrant and lively community of learning and exchange. CCAM maintains partnerships with institutions – NUIG, LIT, and cultural organisations - TULCA; 126 Artspace, and has just initiated an international residency programme on Campus. Over 40 members of staff are employed at CCAM. Learners, lecturers and graduates have won accolades and awards for their achievements and are leaders throughout the film, television and arts world. Staff are also research active within the GMIT Tourism and Arts Research Centre (TARC).
Mission and Objectives

The Mission and Objective of GMIT is to develop life-long learning opportunities through teaching and research by supporting regional development consistent with national higher education policy.
Within the Centre for Creative Arts and Media and TARC, lecturer and artist Deirdre O'Mahony's research is centred on the relationship between communities and public art practices. Her recent work has focused on the following: how artists and artist-initiated organisations promote and enable active citizenship, inclusion and sustainability especially in relation to changing rural/urban landscapes and environments.
Other members of staff are active in this field and to further this research and build on O'Mahony's experience of the ALF network event in Taroudant Morocco CCAM would like to join the ALF. This will enable staff and students at GMIT to benifit from the ALF networks and forge new relationships with partners in Europe and North Africa allowing the development of new artistic projects, research and networks.

Main Projects / Activities

Research into the role of contemporary art in rural places including
o The hosting of conferences, Shifting Ground (2006); The Burren Sproing Conference (2013); Publications: Verge (2010)
o Active research into the representation and mediation of changing perceptions of ‘community’ in rural places.
o Projects around rethinking tacit, place-based knowledge in relation to sustainability, food security and global climate change.
o The development of participative methodologies for negotiating the regulation of post-productivist landscapes
o The development of inter-national connections between local rural communities negotiating the cultural and societal effect of globalisation- partnership projects with regional organisations BurrenBeo; Burren Connect; Burren Geopark; Change X Grizedale Arts; Scottish Sculpture Workshop.
o GMIT’s Centre for Creative Arts and Media (CCAM) is now running a residency programme designed to support the work of arts practitioners who are interested in developing practice and research in Galway City and the West of Ireland during the summer months of 2014. The programme aims to provide opportunities for artists to research and develop their practice in the privacy of their own studio and with access to GMIT’s Library facilities. The residency will be of most benefit to artists seeking a space and quiet time to focus on their artistic development. The residency aims to support both emerging and established artists. A longer term aim of this programme is to establish links with international artists, students and lecturers, and third level art institutions to actively encourage contemporary artistic practice within the City of Galway which is preparing for its application for Europe City of Culture 2020, and has applied for Unseco status as City of Film. http://www.galwayfilmcentre.ie/events/galway-unesco-city-of-film/

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

CCAM’s development as a cultural, educational and media based centre is uniquely suited to meeting the aims of the ALF. More specifically, both CCAM and the Tourism and Art Research Centre bring skills and deep knowledge of the development of strategies that can foster mutual respect across cultural difference in rural contexts that is relevant to ALF mandate. Furthermore the centre can offer an institutional base from which to facilitate meetings and events for the ALF Irish Network. Through her EVA nomination, Deirdre O’Mahony began the process of establishing links with Irish ALF members. CCAM would now like to develop this further by formally joining the network opening the possibility of contributing to a broader discourse on the development of cultural policies and strategies within Ireland and the Euro-Mediterranean Region that can make recommendations to decision-makers and policy makers.
A city on the edge of the Atlantic, Galway pointed to the role of cultural development as a driver of economic development. Within CCAM and the Tourism and Art Research Centre, staff and students are also examining how cultural representations of place, space and landscape might move away from hegemonic and singular ideas of national identity towards more understandings of the complexity of publics that now live and work in the West,
 

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

GMIT and CCAM would like to join the Anna Lindh Network to build and develop networks with artists, academics and educational institutions in Europe and North Africa.

Mission and Objectives

The Centre for Cross Border Studies, based in Armagh and Dublin, researches and develops cooperation across the Irish border in a wide range of practical areas, notably education, health, the economy, ICT and citizens’ information, and works with similar cross-border regional research bodies in other parts of Europe.
The Centre works to be a catalyst for empowering citizens for cross-border cooperation, drawing on 13 years of experience of bringing together the relevant actors across sectors and jurisdictional boundaries both on the island of Ireland and increasingly, elsewhere in Europe.
In Ireland, a major focus of our work is to support the North South Ministerial Council and North/South implementation Bodies, government departments and local authorities, higher education institutions, business and the community and voluntary sector in their engagement with practical cross-border cooperation.

Main Projects / Activities

To contribute to the increased social, economic and territorial cohesion of the island of Ireland through:
Promoting and improving the quality of cross-border cooperation between public bodies, and between public bodies, business and civil society
Improving the capacity of people involved in social and economic development on the island to engage in mutually beneficial cross-border cooperation
Addressing information gaps and other barriers that constrain cross-border mobility and cooperation through research, training and the provision of resources, tools and other practical support.
The Centre for Cross Border Studies manages and provides administrative support for all-island networks bringing together spatial planners, teacher educators and university leaders through
• The International Centre for Local and Regional Development;
• The Standing Conference on Teacher Education North and south (SCoTENS)
• Universities Ireland.

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

A diverse and high-quality research portfolio is at the core of the Centre’s activities, providing a strong foundation for the Centre’s support to cross-border and transnational cooperation. 
The Centre also offers a unique package of practical services to support cross-border cooperation and mobility in Ireland and Europe such as advocacy, evaluation, training, mentoring, facilitation and animation. CCBS will bring our many years’ experience of supporting cross-border cooperation on the island of Ireland – a small island emerging from decades of civil conflict. More recently, as noted elsewhere, we have been sharing our experience and expertise with and learning from other border regions of Europe through the Transfrontier Euro Institut Network (TEIN). TEIN is a network of 13 partners from nine diverse European border regions who share the objective of strengthening European integration through building capacity for cross-border cooperation among public sector, business and civil society actors. TEIN partners – together and separately – support transfrontier cooperation through training, mentoring, research and other activities. With our TEIN partners, the Centre is involved in a programme of work to develop a package of tools, training and other resources that can be used to support cross-border cooperation in different European regions.

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

The Centre for Cross Border Studies works to be a catalyst for "empowering citizens for cross-border cooperation“, drawing on 13 years of experience of bringing together the  relevant actors across sectors and jurisdictional boundaries both on the island of Ireland and, increasingly, elsewhere in Europe.  CCBS shares the ALF values and priorities and as an organisation share also many of the same fields of activities.  For instance, CCBS acts as the secretariat for SCoTENS, an all-island network of teacher educators.  We are committed to capacity building for individuals and organisations within civil society and the public sector to engage in mutually beneficial Cross-Border Cooperation. With our partners in the Transfrontier Euro Institut Network (www.transfrontier.eu)we are engaged in building capacity to facilitate cooperation in cross-border and tranfrontier contexts across Europe. CCBS also manages and provides administrative support for all-island networks bringing together spatial planners and university leaders. The Centre is committed to promoting and improving the quality of Cross-Border Cooperation between public bodies, and between public bodies, business and civil society.  Through our research programme and information services we are proactively addressing information gaps and other barriers that constrain cross-border mobility and cross-border cooperation through research and provision of resources, tools and other practical support. Therefore we expect that being involved with ALF networks will be of considerable benefit to our Centre and its work.

General Information
Clowns Without Borders Ireland is a company registered as a business name with the Companies Registration Office. It also has a CHY number from the Revenue Commissioners. There is a Board and there are no staff employed, all work on a voluntary basis. There is no fixed budget - it depends on fundraisers undertaken by artists and grants received from Culture Ireland. The annual budget is around 12,000 Euros. Projects are tours to areas in crisis or conflict to bring laughter to the children. In addition workshops are undertaken to give skills to young people in the area so that they may have an opportunity of employment in the area. Partnerships are with UNHCR, Warchild and local NGOs in the area being visited. There are 9 countries who have Clowns Without Borders and we have a loose network on an international basis.
Mission and Objectives

"No child without a smile" CLOWNS WITHOUT BORDERS offers laughter to relieve the suffering of all persons, especially children, who live in areas of crisis including refugee camps, conflict zones and territories in situations of emergency. We bring levity, contemporary clown/circus oriented performances and workshops into communities so that they can celebrate together and forget for a moment the tensions that darken their daily lives. We aim to provide emotional relief to children. Underscoring this objective are four points of focus: 1) to perform for as many children as possible and bring laughter and healing for a brief moment in their lives. 2) to establish connections with local grassroots organizations that are working to alleviate the suffering of communities. 3) to connect local performers to these organisations so that celebrations of laughter can continue on a more frequent basis after the expedition is over. 4) to gather information and assess the situation in the regions we visit in order develop future expeditions to the regions.

Main Projects / Activities

In October 2006, the Irish undertook their first misson to Nepal for refugees and orphanages in association with UNHCR. Working primarily with the Bhutanese refugees in Damak, 3 artists performed for over 18,000 children throughout Nepal in 21 performances. This tour was funded by Culture Ireland.
