EU projects

Through our international presence, we are also building long-term partnerships in various international projects, which allow us to address themes and areas of work in the longer term, ensuring the development of our own organisation and the empowerment of City of Women's participants. In addition to networking and strengthening our own capacities, international projects enable us to develop strategically in the fields of cultural and arts education, historiography and archiving, internalising our own productions and developing new production models (e.g. community arts production). Since 2008 we have been involved in ten European projects and have successfully led two of them (Red Dawn over the City of Women and Women on Women).
