Jan Michalski Residency Programme in Switzerland 2027: A Unique Opportunity for Creatives from the CPLP
The Jan Michalski Foundation, with its prestigious residency programme in Switzerland for 2027, opens its doors to creators from all over the world, and, in particular, offers an unmissable opportunity for citizens of the countries that make up the Community of Portuguese-Speaking Countries (CPLP). Cape Verde, with its rich cultural tapestry and growing artistic community, finds in this programme a privileged platform for its talents. This fully funded programme enables artists, writers and intellectuals to devote time and space to their creative practice, immersed in an inspiring environment, with all accommodation, food and travel costs covered.
The Jan Michalski Residency is not merely a stay; it is a deep immersion in a centre dedicated to literature and the arts, encouraging reflection, research and creative output. Selected candidates will have access to a first-class library, quiet workspaces and the opportunity to interact with other residents and the foundation’s team, fostering the exchange of ideas and mutual enrichment. This experience is crucial for the development of ambitious projects and for expanding international professional and artistic networks.
For Cape Verde, this would represent a valuable opportunity for visibility and human development. By offering its creators the chance to take part in a programme of this calibre, the country is not only investing in individual talent, but also strengthening its cultural and artistic capital on a global scale. The knowledge and experience gained by the residents can subsequently be shared and applied within the Cape Verdean context, driving innovation and growth in the cultural sector.
The Jan Michalski Foundation seeks a diverse range of candidates, valuing originality, creative potential and the relevance of the proposed projects. Applicants must be able to demonstrate a well-established artistic or intellectual track record and a commitment to developing a specific project during the residency. This is a call for the most talented and visionary individuals from Cape Verde and the CPLP who are seeking a peaceful environment and the resources to take their creative work to the next level.
Application Deadline: Applications must be submitted no later than 31 August 2026.
