In its call, Pearle* outlines 10 priority areas for the performing arts sector and invites the European political parties and their candidates to take the lead and incorporate these demands in their programmes.

Ranging from funding to digital innovation, sustainability, cross-border mobility or artistic freedom, these priority areas are the core of Pearle*’s work at the European level and will help build a sustainable future for live performance organisations.

The European Parliament and its members have the power to take the initiative and co-build legislation with the other European institutions. These elections provide an opportunity for candidates to shape policies that reflect the challenges and aspirations of the citizens.
