During the 4-day programme, participants from all over the world will be inspired by and guided by an international group of experts from the festivals field, the technological world, and civil society experts. 

We can learn from every idea!

The 4-day programme will take place from 27 to 30 April 2021, and will be hosted entirely digitally, while having its headquarters in Antwerp – Belgium, in partnership with our co-organiser deSingel International Arts Campus. Selected participants from all over the world will be inspired and guided by an international group of experts from the festivals field, the technological world, and civil society experts.

The programme will contribute to the knowledge on audience development/participation/interaction and to reaching out to diverse communities in civil society, to citizenship building, to improve access to arts and culture and the role of digital tools and new technologies in this. It will also provide the participants with a new network of peers that are dealing with these topics in a daily arts festivals practice, be it in the smallest festival or the biggest flagships. 

25 participants from 25 countries in 5 continents have been selected to take part in this inspiring training session.
