About Opportunity

The internationally recognized organization, Forecast, in collaboration with the European Union, is accepting applications from international artists, cultural practitioners, and art enthusiasts for the 10th edition of its 2025-26 Forecast Mentorship Program. This year, the theme is open, and applicants are required to submit project proposals. An international selection committee will choose 18 nominees, who will be invited to Berlin, Germany, to present their ideas and engage in discussions at the Forecast Forum, scheduled for July 14–20, 2025, at Radialsystem. After the Forum, each mentor will select one concept to support through its realization over the following months. The results of these collaborations will be showcased at the Forecast Festival, held at Radialsystem in Berlin from March 16–21, 2026.
