  2.CALL FOR PARTNERS
<please feel free to distribute>

Dear Friends, 
AAC kulturanova is running site-specific festival in Novi Sad, Serbia, FACE - festival of alternative creative exchange. For 2007. edition (this festival is bi-annual) the theme will be the River. We are now looking for partners from Austria, Bulgaria, Croatia, Germany, Hungary, Moldova, Slovakia,  Bosnia and Herzegovina, Czech Republic, Slovenia, Romania, Russia, Ukraine and Serbia. The artists will gather around joint site-specific works of art. Our organization' focus is on development of urban youth culture and raising awareness on relevant social issues, with the vision of building creative platforms for youth in Novi Sad and in region. 
  The festival is happening in the year of 10th anniversarie of Conference in Helsinki 1997 at which the pan-European corridors were agreed on, a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for Corridor VII was signed by the competent ministries of Germany, Austria, Slovakia, Hungary, Croatia, the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, 
  Bulgaria , Romania , Moldova , Ukraine Our main goal is to fight xenophobia and improve dialogue between different cultures, because, although the political situation in Serbia has changed in many ways, the young still  bear the scars of the previous war and we believe that this model could help them overcome the problems they are facing, as well as synchronize home art scene with current European trends. \n
\n 
\nThe  artists will gather around joint site-specific works of art which would reflect their idea of what it means to be a European citizen. The Danube is the second largest river in Europe - after the Volga. \nThe territory covered by the Danube\n river basin measures almost 1 million km². This is roughly one-third of the EU-15\'s  territory ( 3.2 mill km²). The Danube River Basin is home to 81 million people with a wide range of cultures, languages and historical backgrounds. That is why we would like to question the relationship of a city (and citizens) and the river. What role a culture can take in such context? We need to re-think an alternative way on understanding  contemporary art of critical thinking and its implementations in everyday life and that is why this festival gathers young and creative people who are exploring marginal areas of art. " \nF.A.C.E." project is rich in various types of happenings, such as: street performance, video-art, installations,
 interactive paint  exhibitions etc; often combining numerous things into an integral art ___expression.",1] );  //-->and by the European Commission.

\n 
\nBasicaly, the role of partner is to do promotion of the festival in their country, to be selector for artist from that country, to have it\'s representative during prep meeting, to organise everything about the trip to festival, to be logistical coordinator, to try to fundreise localy or regionaly and maybe to organise a follow up event in their country.
