Workshop: Green Mobility. How we (can) network more sustainably.

17 & 18 May 2022 | online

Kreativ-Transfer aims to improve the international visibility of art and culture made in Germany. To this end, the programme supports international marketing and networking activities: it promotes trips to international fairs and festivals, supports digital marketing and offers digital and analogue exchange formats such as international get-togethers and networking meetings.

We are all aware that our marketing and networking activities - whether physical or digital - have a negative impact on the environment and therefore contribute to the global climate crisis.

A year ago, as part of our cross-sectoral Green Mobility workshop, we addressed the question of how ecologically sustainable action and international networking can be reconciled. We discussed the impact of our individual travel behaviour, responsible mobility management and specific options for action.

This is where we started: Together with various experts, we re-examined the question of how we (can) network more sustainably, and we were also able to take a look at the role of networks, because: We need to join forces to bring about change together.

Spoken language:
Mainly in German, questions and comments in English are welcome

Target group:
The event is aimed at anyone interested in the visual arts who runs or represents a gallery, project space or producer gallery.

Important decisions need to be made when it comes to transport: Can the artworks be transported yourself? Or would it be better to commission a haulage company or courier service? And which route will the objects take: as freight in a car / lorry, by sea, by rail or by plane? The respective advantages and disadvantages need to be weighed up, with financial factors and sustainability aspects also playing a major role.

The customs regulations of the individual countries must also be taken into account. Within the EU, the barriers for importing and exporting goods and for people travelling have been reduced. However, customs regulations must be observed when transporting goods across the borders of the EU customs territory. As international and European customs law and national regulations are interlinked, things can quickly become confusing. When do import or export duties and customs duties have to be paid? What is a returned goods regulation or an identification guarantee? And when should a pro forma invoice be issued or an A.T.A. carnet used?


Galleries

Exchange & Networking Meetings

03 December 2020 | online

How can contacts be made and business initiated with international partners if travelling is not possible? How does networking work if trade fairs and conferences do not take place or only take place digitally? Can online formats replace the small talks and live meetings that are important for networking? Is participation in online events (sometimes for a fee) a worthwhile investment?


We discussed these and other questions together with gallery owners.
