Professions, practices, and tools for navigating artistic professionalism in outdoor arts.
- New performing arts code and mapping professions: OAI advocated for Outdoor Arts' recognition in the new performing arts code. It's crucial to map the new, often multidisciplinary, professions within this sector to tailor support and training effectively. What are the lines of inquiry and data collection methods for mapping specific new professions and skills, under the coordination of UNISCA, and why is it important not to miss this turning point?
- Professionalism, practices and international exploring tools: actively participating in networks like Circostrada, Outdoor Arts Italia contributes to shaping the strategic directions and experimental projects within the outdoor arts sector, thereby opening up new opportunities for its development and stakeholders. The adoption of codes of conduct that promote ethical standards and the ongoing investigation of good and bad practices in the sector find European resonance in a platform for discussion that aims to develop indications and guidelines for policymakers: composition, objectives, and practical actions of Circostrada's Spark program.
- Problems, practices and national resources: problems in the sector necessitate good practices, networking and learning from international models. Crucially, continuous mapping and documentation by national entities like Centro Studi Doc contribute to international research on the sector's status and needs. The cooperative model could be a virtuous approach to ensure the rights of artists and workers and to act as a territorial antenna capable of gathering, reporting, and sometimes anticipating developments, issues and innovative practices in the sector.
