Supported by Creative Europe, the Collab 4 HY Sustain project aims to support cultural and creative organizations on their way to growth, innovation and collaboration. In Serbia, Nova Iskra is responsible for the implementation and organization of the project.

In addition to our organization, Polyhedra, Village Cultural Center Markovac, and Community Center Krov are also supported in Serbia.

Two topics are current within the project: Audience and hybrid approaches and Sustainability in cooperation processes. Selected participants will receive mentoring support from experienced experts, a comprehensive training program, a €3,000 project development grant, visibility opportunities at hybrid events and access to the SEE regional network and EU collaboration opportunities.

As part of the project, our organization, through work with mentor Vera Lloyd Thomas, will work on the development of the concept of Art in Passing.

Incubation activities started in December 2023, and the project lasts 16 months.

Collab 4 HY Sustain CCI project partners are Materahub (Italy), Intercultura Consult (Bulgaria), Syn+ Ergasia (Greece), The Flying Theater (Denmark) and Nova Iskra Creative Hub (Serbia). Support is provided by the Creative Europe Program (CREA) and the National Cultural Fund of Bulgaria.
