Festival Academy i Budapest - ny deadline 8 november
The Festival Academy - ett initiativ av European Festivals Association (EFA), har förlängt tidsfristen för ansökan till Atelier for young Festival Managers in Budapest, fram till den 8 November! Atelier kommer att äga rum från 2-8 juni 2016 i Budapest, Ungerns kulturella nav, i samarbete med Armel Opera Festival. Vi vill ge möjlighet för fler festivaler att delta i denna unika jubileumsutgåva, vid en tidpunkt då Ungern står i centrum för uppmärksamheten i Europa. Workshopen gör det möjligt för deltagarna att reflektera över den roll som konsten och festivaler har mot bakgrund av den politiska och samhälleliga utvecklingen.

in a highly relevant political and cultural space? Read more HERE
Deadline extended: Apply by 8 November!
Share your experiences on the essence of art festivals
The Atelier for Young Festival Managers is an intense 7-day training programme addressed at emerging artistic festival directors or those who have ambitions to get involved in programming or in related departments within a festival. It is about sharing experiences and passing on knowledge to the next generation of festival makers: knowledge about programming a festival, while focusing on the very essence of art festivals – the arts and the artist.
Explore festival issues in various formats
45 young festival managers from all over the world will be selected to participate in the Atelier. Around 10 distinguished festival directors will attend, each for at least two full days and work together with participants throughout the 7 days. In lectures, one-on-one talks, group discussions as well as intense workshops on case studies, issues such as artistic vision, public responsibility, creation and coproduction, internationalisation, networking, renewal and sustainability will be explored.
