The first edition of the Euro-African Campus for Cultural Cooperation will be held in Maputo, Mozambique, in 2009. The project has been designed by the Interarts Foundation and the Observatory of Cultural Policies in Africa (OCPA), in the framework of a cultural cooperation programme initiated in 2003 that involves research, awareness-raising, training and networking activities. The project also aims to build on other relevant initiatives and involve other partners and organisations with shared aims, in order to guarantee the relevance and effectiveness of the event. To this end, a series of preparatory activities have been carried out since 2007, including the identification of good practices, dissemination of the project and cooperation with other organisations.
