Did you or your organisation take part in international cultural activities or projects in 2025? Or did you collaborate with a partner abroad? We would love to hear from you.

Each year, we collect worldwide activities of cultural and creative professionals, makers, and organisations from or based in the Kingdom of the Netherlands in our Cultural Database. Together, we build a clearer picture of the international work of the whole sector and the impact of cultural collaboration across borders. The database also gives you insight into the field and your discipline, which can support your own international ambitions.

You can contribute if:

• You live and work in the Kingdom of the Netherlands, regardless of nationality, or if you are Dutch and living (temporarily) abroad.

• You worked on a project or activity abroad, or collaborated with international partners on a project outside the Netherlands. This includes, for example, a book translation or an art residency abroad.

• You received or were nominated for an international award.

How can you share your projects?

• You can log in to the MyDC Portal and add your activities. Don’t have an account yet? You can create one in a few simple steps.
