Nurope
The Nomadic University for Art, Philosophy and Ent

Nurope a co-initiative of Cittadellarte, the Finnish Åbo Akademy and the European Cultural Parliament to reflect on the challenges that globalization poses to Europe, with particular attention on the economic and social development implicit in the relationship between art and enterprise.
The Nurope program is open to convention type activities and university courses, and is developed through nine oases (sessions), three per year. Each oasis consists of three five day sessions of meetings, workshops and visits, with the aim of offering theoretical and methodological knowledge and case studies to university students and researchers, entrepreneurs and professionals from the world of culture and economics, to promote an economy of awareness and creative responsibility. The Oases are always held in different places, to permit interaction with the communities and local authorities.
Throughout 2007 the Oases were held at Cittadellarte, Biella, entitled “Art for a Responsible Transformation of Society”, from the 9th to the 12th of February; in Kassel at Documenta, on the subject “Visions based on art”, from the 27th of June to the 1st of July; in Ljubljana on the subject “Art in the East”, from the 18th to the 21st of October. The program also envisages the following Oases: in Istanbul, from the 28th of January to the 1st of February 2008; in Stockholm from the 12th to the 16th of May 2008; in Copenaghen in October-November 2008, Lisbon in January 2009 and in Åbo/Turku, May – June 2009.
