Cultural cooperation
The Royal Norwegian Embassy in Belgrade aims to promote Norwegian culture, society and values in Montenegro, North Macedonia and Serbia, and strengthen cooperation between relevant actors in Norway and these countries.
Culture Grant Scheme
If you invite Norwegian artists to participate in events in your country, and if financial support is required, please refer your invitees to Norwegian Arts Abroad NAA portal (stikk.no), the Norwegian support programme for international art and culture collaboration. The NAA network includes: Office of Contemporary Art Norway (OCA), Music Norway, Performing Arts Hub Norway (PAHN), Norwegian Crafts, DOGA, Norwegian Film Institute (NFI) and Norwegian Literature Abroad (NORLA). These organizations administrate travel support schemes.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs distributes annual funding for cultural promotion activities to the Embassy. The local cultural actors are invited to apply to the embassy for support to Norwegian participation in events (concerts, performances, workshops, festivals etc.). However, the Embassy’s support may only be a part of the whole budget for the event, and the above-mentioned support programmes must have been explored prior to application.
