Financial resources allocated to the policy

2016: 32 grants (airfare). no budget data. 2017: 70 grants (airfare). about usd 322,000 (us dollars). 2018: this aid line was suspended 2019: this aid line was suspended

Evaluation of the policy/measure

The suspension of the aid lines has reduced the possibilities to access support for artists who need it, with the consequent increase in difficulties to participate in training activities that require traveling abroad and cannot be found among the local training offerings. finally, there is also a drop in knowledge transfer activities, which the beneficiaries of the aid lines used to access and later passed on to local communities.
