Network
m2act network events bring together cultural professionals and experts from various disciplines and sectors of society. The events focus on facilitating knowledge exchange and the joint development and testing of new ideas in order to promote a fairer and more sustainable future for the performing arts.
Toolbox
The m2act toolbox offers practical tips and solutions developed through co-creative projects, which can be used to meet current challenges in the performing arts. We expand the toolbox continually with findings and insights from the networking events and projects that have received funding. The tools are available to everyone for unrestricted use and further development.
