EFA RISE 2

The EFA RISE 2 project runs from 2017-2021 and aims to build an engaged, cross-generational, multidisciplinary and cross-sectorial community through ongoing activities such as the Festival Knowledge Centre, the Festival Places Portraits videos and the EFA Festival in Focus interviews, the Culture Commissioner Round Table and the annual Arts Festivals Summit. Events specifically targeted at young professionals include the Ateliers for Young Festival Managers and Production Managers and workshops with Pearle* on European legislation. To encourage cooperation in the community EFA will work with the Future Heritage Ambassadors, the In Situ Insight delegations to festivals and the Arts Festivals Council. The focus will go from the human capital at the centre of festivals to their connection with audiences and places and will culminate with the connection between festivals and artists to build dialogue, empowerment and empathy. By acting on the quality of long-term engagement EFA will have a long-term impact on society.

EFA RISE 2 is a project co-funded by the Creative Europe Program of the European Union
