This call for proposals aims to support the organisation of short courses (masterclasses) by awarding financial support to artistic production institutions in Angola, Cape Verde, Guinea-Bissau, Mozambique or São Tomé and Príncipe.

With the aim of helping to mitigate the lack of opportunities and support for emerging artists from the PALOP to integrate global trends in the arts, particularly as regards training in the performing arts (staging and artistic direction, scenography and set design, stage lighting, sound design, wardrobe and characterisation, dramaturgy, etc.), the grant aims to encourage high-quality training, involving national or international trainers.
