    What is the Odyssart call for projects ?<\/strong><\/summary>\n

    The goal of the Odyssart call for projects is to support cultural exchanges between France and Canada\/Qu\u00e9bec for young people aged 18 to 35. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    This call for projects is aimed at artists affiliated with an organisation wishing to carry out a professional project including mobility between France and Canada\/Qu\u00e9bec.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Le projet doit imp\u00e9rativement \u00eatre initi\u00e9 par l\u2019artiste ou les artistes et soutenu par les structures porteuse et partenaire.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The call for projects is renewed each year for five calendar years (2023, 2024, 2025, 2026, 2027). The application form opens in the fall for projects taking place the following year.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n

    Can one apply to Odyssart multiple times ?<\/strong><\/summary>\n

    If your project was submitted and not selected in the past, you may submit it again. We recommend refining it to improve your chances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Projects that have already received Odyssart funding in previous years cannot receive it again.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n

    What does the term 'structure' refer to? Can a self-employed individual or sole proprietor registered with the Canadian or Quebec business registry submit an application?<\/strong><\/summary>\n

    Une \u00ab\u00a0structure\u00a0\u00bb est une entit\u00e9 artistique et ou culturelle public ou priv\u00e9e poss\u00e9dant un num\u00e9ro d’enregistrement SIRET\/SIREN en France, NEQ au Qu\u00e9bec ou NE au Canada (associations, entreprises, organismes etc.).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Oui, les autoentreprises et les travailleuses et travailleurs autonomes (artistes-auteurs) peuvent soumettre un dossier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Universities can be host organisations, but students cannot apply for a project during their studies or for an internship.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n

    Our project has not yet been completed, can we apply next year?<\/strong><\/summary>\n

    L\u2019appel \u00e0 projets Odyssart est reconduit chaque ann\u00e9e pendant 5 ans. Il sera possible de proposer votre projet pour Odyssart 2028.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n

    How can I find a partner organisation in France or in Canada\/Qu\u00e9bec ?<\/strong><\/summary>\n

    L\u2019OFQJ n\u2019aide pas au rep\u00e9rage de structures partenaires, ni \u00e0 la construction directe du projet. Chaque porteuse ou porteur de projet est responsable de ses propres d\u00e9marches pour rep\u00e9rer et contacter les structures pertinentes.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n
