We look back at the successful conclusion of Mobile.Home – a project initiated by European cultural organisations to celebrate the European Year of Workers’ Mobility 2006. It contributed to the year by highlighting good practices from the live performance sector and by looking at obstacles to mobility for performing arts workers.

The project included three main strands of activities:

-         extensive research in the field of legal, fiscal and social issues related to mobility in the EU live performance sector,

-         the presentation of 15 mobile artists by means of digital portraits,

-         a cross-sector conference marking the culmination of the project held in Helsinki in November 2006.

The final project report Arts and Culture Go Mobile! is now available for download as is the Study on Impediments to Mobility in the EU Live Performance Sector and on Possible Solutions by Richard Poláček.
