Advocating for Dance

EDN members are invited to register for the network’s General Assembly & Think-in, hosted by Lavanderia a Vapore on 3 & 4 June 2025, in Collegno (Turin), Italy.

This gathering serves as a dynamic space for exchange, advocacy, and artistic reflection, bringing together EDN members and other guests to discuss new forms of governance, accessibility, and translation of embodied knowledge.

EDN’s Advocacy Programme is facilitated by the EU network funding and seeks to counter the fragmentation of the dance sector while addressing its challenges.

Through this initiative, EDN supports the sector’s transformations and works to foster equitable working conditions and sustainable structures for dance guided by contemporary artistic practices.
