It is our pleasure to announce the fourth EDN publication in 2021 entitled “Global Dance: EDN’s Work Across Borders”, a part of the “Fit for the Future'' series of research papers commissioned by the European Dance Network.

The publication was supported by DEN the Dutch national knowledge institute for culture & digital transformation and Dachverband Tanz Deutschland.

As part of its ‘Fit for the Future’ series of publications, EDN commissioned researchers Fanny Bouquerel and Cristina Farinha to investigate the key conditions for more sustainable international relations in the dance field and how dance could contribute to EU’s external relations. This first overview builds upon the various existing studies carried out by colleague organisations as well as the many conversation happening in the dance field, and draw recommendations for public authorities and the dance sector.
