Events

We work with different partners each year to organise an annual public networking event. This event offers a platform for artists and other specialists to meet and exchange ideas. The focus is on sharing knowledge and working together to create and try out forward-thinking ideas and approaches for the performing arts. In addition, as part of our funding, we also put on regular networking events for and with the projects we fund.

    BURNING ISSUES of the performing arts

    One year after the m2act x Burning Issues network meeting in Bern, at which cultural and creative professionals discussed diversity, inclusion and equality in the performing arts and drew up a final document, – we look back and ask: What developments and changes have already been triggered by the initiatives? What problems and obstacles have arisen? And how can we ensure that the initiatives have as lasting an impact as possible? Details
