Nordic Currents, a new international culture initiative running from 2027-2028, is looking for project proposals that will showcase the diversity, quality and contemporary relevance of Nordic arts and culture in neighbouring European countries. Deadline: 1 November 2026. 

The initiative is launched by the Nordic Council of Ministers who next to showcasing Nordic culture also aims to foster sustainable collaborations between Nordic and European cultural actors.

The call will be open from 1 October to 1 November 2026 and is targeted towards established organisations in countries neighbouring the Nordic region, including cultural organisations, institutions, festivals, producers, promoters, as well as embassies and diplomatic missions working in partnership with arts and culture stakeholders. Eligible countries primarily include Belgium, Estonia, France, Germany, Ireland, Latvia, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Poland and the United Kingdom.

Selected projects will be announced in May 2027.
