On behalf of IETM – International network for contemporary performing arts, Culture Action Europe (CAE), European Network of Cultural Centres (ENCC) and Trans Europe Halles (TEH) we would like to thank all the people who participated in the Beyond the Urban webinar that was held yesterday morning at IETM’s offices. It was a great experience and we appreciate the various and meaningful interventions that many of you did during the conversation!
We have noted down your comments and contributions and will take them forward in our future advocacy actions to ensure better recognition of arts and culture in non-urban and peripheral areas.
