Members Forum

Members Forum is a versatile platform that facilitates exchange between EDN member organisations. Some meetings will be a casual chance to chat over your favourite morning drink, while other meetings will have a thematic focus to go in-depth on questions regarding our working groups.

The idea is for these meetings to be hosted by you, our members. This doesn’t involve a lot of preparation, only the motivation to hold space and a frame for a certain topic. If you would like to take this opportunity to discuss burning issues with your fellow members, please don’t hesitate to let us know! Just send a quick e-mail to christoph[at]ednetwork.eu

Upcoming Meetings

Friday, 28 March 2025, 10:00-11:00 CET: “Parent-Friendly”

During our last YOUNG working group meeting, there was a strong interest in exploring the concept of parent-friendly culture, both for audiences and cultural workers. We warmly invite all EDN members to participate in this brainstorming session, where we will exchange ideas and share good practices on family inclusion.

 Friday, 11 April 2025, 10:00-11:00 CEST: “YOUNG Atelier”

This is the chance to exchange interests, input and expertise on the first “YOUNG Atelier” hosted by Oriente Occidente in Rovereto, Italy, in November 2025.

The Atelier will be a platform to exchange on strategies for engaging young artists and audiences in peripheral cities, taking into account the necessity of training programmes, mentorship opportunities, and accessible cultural activities to support young choreographers and dancers, fostering community ownership in cultural initiatives and brainstorming strategies to encourage Gen Z participation in curating cultural events.
