Ongoing Projects
The Interdisciplinary Program
Three young aspiring creators gets 10 months in Malmö at STPLN to learn, create and make an impact.
The Interdisciplinary Program is a 10-month experience through European Solidarity Corps where three young ambitious and aspiring creatives hone their skills, develop their portfolio and gain first-hand experience working within the creative and cultural industries. Funded by MUCF through the Erasmus + ESC Program, this project offers a unique experience to participants to work on a variety of creative projects alongside the team at STPLN in Malmö, Sweden.
CCI4Change
Creative Collaboration for Energy Transitions: Exploring how culture and creativity can reshape energy behavior.
CCI4Change is an Interreg-funded initiative that brings together public authorities, cultural and creative industries (CCIs), and civil society to explore how artistic and cultural practices can support more sustainable energy use. At its core, the project seeks to reduce energy consumption by addressing one of the most challenging dimensions of the energy transition: human behavior.
Microcredentials
Can microcredentials strengthen the independent creator in relation to stakeholders?
As part of the development of our incubator program, The Lab, we are investigating whether and how microcredentials can strengthen the participants in the incubator. We want to investigate how microcredentials for the free cultural life can be designed at the same time as we want to see if microcredentials can contribute to strengthening individual freelancers in their competence profile vis-à-vis stakeholders such as funders as well as buyers and employers. This project is funded by Region Skåne and will run over 2025.
PULSE
Together with Inkonst, STPLN aims to strengthen and showcase Malmö’s club culture by building a supportive ecosystem for young creators and club collectives.
The project focuses on offering training opportunities, creating networks, opening up access to spaces and technical infrastructure, and championing club culture as a vital and legitimate part of the cultural landscape.
Designing Participatory Spaces
Innovation in Placemaking and Capacity Building.
Designing Participatory Spaces is a collaborative project between STPLN (Sweden) and Ankara Aks (Türkiye) focused on empowering cultural and creative professionals to drive societal change. By fostering innovation in placemaking, design, and artistic expression, the project will build capacity in both Sweden and Türkiye to strengthen democratic engagement, freedom of expression, and social responsibility. Through workshops, collaborative projects, and cross-cultural exchange, the initiative aims to equip participants with the tools and knowledge to advocate for sustainability, bridge social divides, and promote inclusive community development. This project is vital for inspiring positive, lasting transformation in both local and global contexts.
