Tandem is a cultural collaboration programme that strengthens civil society in Europe and its neighbouring regions. There are currently nine Tandem programmes (Tandem Al Emarat, Tandem Community & Participation (C&P), Tandem Cultural Capitals, Tandem Europe, Tandem Fryslân, Tandem Shaml, Tandem Turkey, Tandem Ukraine, Tandem Western Balkans), which focus on different regions and topics.

Within each Tandem programme, participants form cross-national partnerships of two, aka tandems. These Tandem partners organize working visits to each other’s cities or regions and develop a joint pilot project which serves as a space for mutual learning and engagement.
The programme acts on different levels, offering professional development to individuals, as well as supporting organizational change processes and creating a space to experiment with innovative ideas.
Tandem’s vision is to see networks of creative communities emerge from the programme, and support the impact of their ongoing efforts.
