70 years after its birth,  EFA is guided by a Thinking Group, who has shaped the European Festivals 70-Years-On Agenda for the next few years and have pledged to be around when this menu is put into action – an agenda that remains under continual construction.

The members of this group have given a statement related to the following question: How can a festival impact society most significantly in your opinion? Can we influence politics as a sector? Do we want to fulfil a societal purpose? more than ever, or less?

You can find their statements under their photos below.
