“Engine   Room  Europe   is  a   three-­‐year   programme   (April  2011-­‐May  2014)  of  ac,vi,es  dedicated  to  independent   cultural  workers  and  their   crea,ve  processes.  It  is   ini,ated  by   Trans   Europe   Halles   (TEH)   and  co-­‐ordinated   by   Melkweg   (Amsterdam,   The   Netherlands)   in   associa,on  with   10   co-­‐organizing   TEH   members.  Engine  Room  Europe  has  been  funded  with  the  support  from  the  European  Commission.  This  publica,on  [communica,on]  reflects  the  views  only  of  the

author,  and  the  Commission  cannot  be  held  responsible  for  any  use  which  may  be  made  of  the  informa,on  contained  therein”.  

Tabačka  &  Košice

Tabačka   is   a   former   tabacco   factory,   situated   in  Košice,   that  was  renovated  and  transformed   into  a  cultural  and   social  project.   It   surveys  and  presents  current   local   and   mul,disciplinary   interna,onal  produc,on   in   arts.   The   centre   func,ons   as   a  plalorm  for   young  crea,ve  people  wan,ng   to   set  up  small  businesses  in  Košice.

Košice  is  a  city   of   250.000   that   lies  close  to  three  na,onal  borders:  Hungary,  Ukraine  and  Poland.  The  border  with  Ukraine  became  the  external  Schengen  

border  in  2007,  making  movement  across  it  difficult  and   complica,ng   communica,on   and   coopera,on  among  ar,sts  and  cultural  workers.  For  Tabačka  this  is  a  major  issue:  despite  the  will,  the  centre  cannot  easily  work  with  their  close  neighbours.

In   2013,   Košice   will   be   the   European   Capital   of  Culture.   The   project   stresses   Košice’s  posi,on   on  the  Schengen  border  and  has  an  ambi,on  to  make  the   city   a   cultural   and   ar,s,c   exchange   point  between  Eastern  and  Western  Europe.

Engine  Room  Europe  Day:  Open  Space

WHAT  IS  OPEN  SPACE?Engine  Room  Europe  Day   on  Friday   11th  May   was  devoted   to   capacity   building   and   professional  development   for   the   future   sustainability   of   the  independent   cultural  sector   in  Europe.  Open  Space  is  a  format  that  opens  a  common  space  for  informal  co-­‐learning   and   co-­‐construc,on.   The   session   was  held  in  English  and  led  by  professional  Open  Space  facilitators  Conscious  Partners.

WHAT  ISSUES  WERE  DISCUSSED?This  theme  of  Overcoming  Borders  is  linked  to  the  situa,on  of  Košice,   a  city   at   the  Schengen  border.  The  topic  was  also  chosen  because  it  could  be  seen  from   several   different   direc,ons,   all   relevant   for  TEH   Members   and   Friends:   poli,cal,   cultural,  human,  social.

During   the   day,   we   asked   the   specific   ques,on:  What  borders  are  we   facing  and  what  do  we  want  to   achieve?   This   Open   Space   gave   the   mee,ng  par,cipants   the   opportunity   to   highlight   the  borders  that   they   share  with  other   TEH  members  and  to  discuss  possible  ways  to  overcome  these!  

WHAT  TOPICS  WERE  RAISED?1.  How  to  manage  projects  in  circumstances  of  no  freedom?2.   How   to   transform   a   border   into   a   point   of  encounter?3.  How  to  not  lose  your  passion  and  energy  you  had  when  you  started  your  cultural  organisa,on?4. Fundraising  &  sponsorship5. How  to  work  with  volunteers?6. How   to   cooperate   and   overcome   borders   of  compe,,on?

At  the  end  of  the  day,  the  objec,ve  was  to  produce  ac,on   plans   for   improving   partnerships   and  exchanges  between  TEH  Members  and  between  TEH  and  other  networks.

WHAT  ACTION  PLANS  WERE  PROPOSED?1.   Mobility   fund:   Interac,ve   map   of   East-­‐West  collabora,ons.2.  Training  for  mentors.3. TEH  diary  for  Staff  Exchangees  and  Volunteers.

Panel  debate:  Košice  and  Crossing  Schengen

All  TEH  Members  are  used  to  facing  and  overcoming  borders   in   their   daily   work;   whether   they   are  physical,  social  or  poli,cal.  For  Tabačka,  the  meaning  of   “border”   is   all   the   more   immediate   as   it   is  situated   in   Košice,   a   city   that   lies   close   to   three  borders.   To  address  this  issue,   cultural  actors  from  Ukraine,   Belarus,  Moldova  and  Russia  were   invited  to  par,cipate  in   a  panel  debate  on  Saturday,   12th  May.

DISCUSSED  ISSUES•   The   s itua,on   of   independent   cultural  organisa,ons   in   Ukraine,   Belarus,   Moldova  introduced  by  representa,ves  of  the  organisa,ons•  Possibili,es  of  cultural  exchange  between  EU  and  the   “EU   neighbourhood   countries”   (Belarus,  Ukraine,  Moldova,  Georgia,  Azerbaijan,  Armenia)•  What  are  the  aims,  problems  and  possibili,es  of  cultural  co-­‐opera,on  across  the  Schengen  border?•   How   to   create   an   effec,ve   network   between  cultural   organisa,ons   from   the   EU   and   non-­‐EU  members?•   What   role   does   the   Košice   region   play   in   the  exchange  between  these  organisa,ons?   The   proposal   for   a   new   EU   culture   programme  “Crea,ve   Europe,”   currently   under   discussion,  includes   more   support   for   coopera,on   between  ar,sts  and  cultural  ini,a,ves  across  the  borders  of  the  EU   from  2014  onwards.  What   significance  will  that  have  if  the  proposal  goes  through?

    Wall  of  Borders

To   start   reflec,ng   on   the   topic   of   Overcoming  Borders,   the   mee,ng   par,cipants   were   asked   to  bring   a   photo,   illustra,on   or   a   descrip,on   of   a  border   they   face   in  their   daily   work/life.   This  was  posted   on   a   Wall   of   Borders   close   to   the   main  entrance  of  Tabačka,  where  they  were  able  to  share  and  discuss  with  others.   Everyone  who  brought  an  example   of   a   border   shared   with   us   the   story  behind   it   and   the   possible  ways   to   overcome   it.  Whether   it   is   a   geographical,   poli,cal   or   social  border,  we  all  face  them.  It  is  important  to  raise  the  

awareness  that   the  construc,on  of  a  more  united  Europe  can  be  possible  through   the  realiza,on  of  concrete   projects,   led   at   regional,   na,onal   and  transna,onal   level.   As   a   result   of   more   frequent  contacts   and   tangible   achievements   affec,ng  directly   ci,zens’   daily   life   (in   educa,on,   culture,  social   life   and   environmental   planning),   the  inhabitants  of   a  certain  area   can  strengthen  their  mutual  understanding  and  develop  deeper  ,es  with  each  other.

    Swap  MarketDuring   the  Swap  Market   on  Saturday   evening,   the  mee,ng  par,cipants  had  the  chance  to  swap  items  with  each  other   and  cross  other   kinds  of   borders.
