Middle Organization kickoff meeting
Starting a main reflection in FiraTàrrega 2025
Streamlining complexity of performing sector, enhancing the value of roles, functions and balance among all stakeholders.
Outdoor Arts Italia ETS is actively promoting an exploratory meeting aimed at European "Middle Organizations". The primary goal is to foster an open space for listening and understanding whether there is a common ground of needs and challenges that we, as intermediate organizations, can address through coordinated actions, both within and potentially outside the Circostrada network.
As Middle Organizations, our core identity is built on principles of impartiality and a network-driven approach. We act as facilitators and promoters of virtuous processes, connecting artists, companies, festival organizers and institutions, rather than directly engaging as market producers or distributors. Our strength lies in our ability to create connections and synergies among various sector actors, promoting a collaborative and participatory approach. We aim to ensure the artistic, social, historical, cultural, educational, economic and touristic value of performative arts in public spaces is recognized.
This is an exploratory meeting to identify common ground and pave the way for future coordinated actions or joint projects.
Key Themes for Discussion:
- Identity and Recognition
- Operational models and data strategies
- Sustainability and resource generation
- Quality of participation
- Shared challenges and opportunities
- Advocacy needs
- Promoting innovation and internationalization
