”我們旨在培育和推廣藝術創意，維護藝術自由，強化多元的民間聲音(We aim to nurture and promote artistic creativity, uphold artistic freedom, and amplify diverse grassroots voices.)。“ 摘自網絡夥伴2024年於河內時提出
這個網絡計畫始於2023年，目前這個網絡共有四個「網絡夥伴(‘Hub Partners’)」，我們旨在培育和推廣藝術創意，維護藝術自由，強化多元的民間聲音。這些共享的價值和聚焦，使我們在這些範圍共同合作：
- 我們的計畫的核心信念和方向，皆趨向於藝術、文化與社會
- 我們具有為藝術領域中的他人創造更多機會的使命
- 我們和來自不同藝術領域的實務工作者一起工作
- 建立區域性的網絡是我們工作的核心，而這對我們的組織來說，也是重要的工作
我們身為網絡夥伴，目前主要的工作，包括：
- 拓展亞洲的藝術和社會實務工作者的網絡
- 推廣更多的機會給亞洲的藝術和社會實務工作者
- 促進我們聚焦的區域的實務工作者，更容易接觸到更多的機會
- 發起新的Mobility Program ，以增加臺灣和湄公河流域國家之間的交流和網絡 (更多相關資訊，請至本網頁下方查詢)
網絡夥伴們每個月以線上會議的方式，分享資訊、探討各種機會的可能性，或提出合作計畫。此外，網絡夥伴們每一年至少有一次的實體會議，下一次的網絡夥伴會議，將於2024年12月於台北辦理。如果您在這期間，有興趣和這個網絡連結，歡迎與我們聯絡。若您有我們也專案或計畫，希望提醒我們，我們也非常樂意與您聯繫。

Art & Society Mobility Program
From 2024, the Hub Partners are jointly piloting a new Mobility Program, focused on increasing opportunities for emerging art and society practitioners to develop their knowledge and networks through opportunities to travel and to attend events in Asia. The program is based on a set of common objectives, jointly developed by the Hub Partners, and the priority is to support mobility for practitioners within Mekong and Taiwan:
- Strengthen the Network: Foster a stronger network among the different communities and hubs within the Art & Society Network Asia.
- Mutual Learning: Facilitate knowledge sharing and mutual learning opportunities for artists and cultural practitioners in the region.
- Resource Sharing: Encourage the sharing of resources among the hubs, promoting collaboration and innovation.
- Career Advancement: Support the career advancement of individuals by providing mobility opportunities for professional growth.
Based on these objectives, during the pilot phase each Hub Partner will implement their own program of travel grants, talks, events and exchanges, using financial and administrative support from MCH. Each Hub Partner’s program is designed to support outward travel for people from their country (in Myanmar’s case this also includes Myanmar citizens based in Southeast Asia). If you are from either Myanmar, Taiwan or Vietnam, please use the links below to discover more about the opportunities being offered by your local Hub Partner. If you are an artist from elsewhere in Asia and will be visiting Hanoi or Taipei, please contact the relevant Hub Partner as they may be able to host you for a talk or a workshop.
