xm:lab already has a track record of innovative cultural education projects at the intersection of art and technology and will be able to share its experiences with interested partners, support the joint submission of international cultural grants with a special focus on transcultural practices and processes. xm:lab is one of the few actors in cultural media with a strong focus on questions of socio-ecological sustainability and can serve as a bridge/mediator between socio-cultural milieus.
xm:lab has co-initiated a number of international cultural education projects and would like to expand these in cooperation with ALF partners. Upcoming projects include a journalism workshop series (journalism.xmlab.org), joint publication efforts with www.transeuropeennes.eu, a panafrican film platform mokolo.net, and the continuation/expansion of our film education efforts. We share ALF's values and believe in networking to co-develop sustainable cultural education projects situated, in our case, at the intersection of art and technology. xm:lab already works closely with a large variety of German partners. Membership in the ALF network will help take these cooperative projects to a new level of international exchange and collaboration and ensure effective dissemination of project outcomes to relevant audiences.
