European Atelier for Young Festival Managers

Gent, Sunday, 01-01-2006

The European Festivals Association, in co-operation with various partners from the field, has set up a workshop for young festival managers. The European Atelier is a management programme especially designed for young festival operators, with a special focus on those who are working in the programming department or who have ambitions to become involved in programming and programming related issues within a festival. It is set up as a workshop to experience high-level reflection and exchange in the field of festival 'programming' management.

About 40 young festival managers will meet for five days to work in topical-based working groups, attend lectures and debates, learn from case studies and implement practical activities.
